Info about transport/price - North of Laos
Hi,
Hope thoses info gonna help some of you ;)
If you really want to know about the contry and see authentic towns and villages i suggest to go in the North. It's a little bit cold, but the landscae is really nice.
Luang Prabang and Vang Vieng it's not really Laos, for me, it was to touristic.
A lot of travellers only go in thoses towns and they had a bad opinion about the entire contry and the people...how can you judge a contry when you only go in touristics places... ??

Sounds like a great trip! We've had a researcher in northern Laos of late, you may find the following two entries interesting:
Travelling by boat to XiengKok
The road to Phongsali.
Cheers!
