Laos

One of the highlights of a traveler’s stay in Luang Prabang, Laos usually includes a day trip to the Kuang Si Waterfalls (sometimes spelled Kuang Xi).

We awoke on the morning feeling we had everything in order to head to Luang Prabang from our hotel in Vang Vieng.

We set out that day with our rented beach cruisers and ghetto map in search of some caves and a “blue” lagoon. Yup, we snubbed the tours filled with young British punks and burnouts in training. Filled with the spirit of adventure, we thought..

We awoke on the train with about an hour left before we arrived in Nong Kai, the Thai border town. Supposedly, it’s a great place to take a cruise down the river and watch the sunset. If you catch it in October, you will see some amazing phosphorescent bubbles (Naga Fireball) rising from the river.
