In reply to bubble. Lovely! I'd quite like to go back to Laos someday, especially to Luang Prabang. I found it one of the prettiest cities in Asia!

Nature makes me so fresh. Laos has a nice environment. I went to southern Laos two years ago. I ever have a plan to go to Vang Vieng too but my family doesn’t take me to Vang Vieng. They took me to Tad Gneuang Waterfall in the city of Paksong in Laos.Tad Gneuang Waterfall is not generally crowded with tourists and visitors. There are many staircases to go down to the waterfall. For the first time that I saw a big beautiful waterfall, I don’t feel tired anymore. This waterfall is one of my favorite places

In reply to Siobhan. Hahaha okay in that case yes, I think it would be fair to forgo a guide! Although that 6 year old might know the cave like the back of their hand :)

I wanted to hire a guide when I visited but it turned out that the guide, on that day at least, was just a little 6-8 year old kid with absolutely no English so we didn’t bother. I mean, I guess if we got lost it would’ve have been nice to have someone who could lead the way out but seemed a bit pointless otherwise so we decided to just go it alone and be extra careful!

In reply to Emily in Chile. It was! I would definitely recommend anyone and everyone to go... with the caveat that I would say to hire a guide :)

I was thinking that the cave looked beautiful, and then suddenly there you were, sliding down a slope in the dark! Sounds scary, so I’m glad you made it out ok, but everything else does still sound beautiful.

Wow, looks like a pretty epic day, that little temple in the cave looks so cool.

Beautiful photos! I love the second one down of the guys looking out the back of the sawngthaew.

Good to get away from tubing for a day or two isn’t it?! 😉
