Laos is my personal favourite, much of the country is rural with a laid back approach, the roads are quiet. I'd say it's under developed which gives it charm, although the touristy spots are now getting overly commercialised, it's well worth a visit.
Chang Mai to Vientiane
Jan, Peter, Gavin and Keith. If I were to pick one tour to repeat again, this is it, an extremely good route, stunning mountain scenery, starting from Chang Mai heading east across north Thailand then crossing the river border into Laos. Take a lazy river boat down the Mekong river and disembark at Pakbeng and out into the wilderness. A wonderful ride to Luang Prabang, good hills and scenery. Then continue south through more stunning scenery, there's a little known Chinese trucker's guest stop, fabulous.
Vientiane to Dong Kong
Jan & Peter. We liked it so much we came back again, another fine tour in laid back Laos. Starting to learn some of the language now. Great coffee on the Bolivean Plateau. Following the Mekong River all the way to Cambodia.
Luang Prabang to Vinh to Bangkok
Jan & Peter, connecting the dots from previous tours, contrasting Laos, Vietnam and Thailand, getting to understand the region quite well now. The plain of jars, Vietnam border posts, an outbreak of bird flu. Some very remote areas makes it more fun.
