    BUDDYMOON DAY 532/1000 (VLOG 146)
    Today we board a luxury slow boat cruis down the mekong river here in Laos towards a town called Luang Prabang. This cruise will take 2 days so we will be stopping over in Pakbeng for the night in a luxury hotel.
    Loas has just so much to offer and this was probably one of our favorite things to do and is a must if you are ever in Laos.
    We want to travel from north Laos all the way to the South and the VIP Slow boat cruise is only the 1 activity of what lies ahead for us in Laos.
    On day 1 of the slow boat cruise, we stopped at a village to explore how the people live and meet some kids.

    Off we go on another adventure.... The hairy fruit is called a rambutan....This is such a unforgettable experience i reckon.... And accommodation is pretty awesome in a place like this .... and Laos is one of the poorest country in South East Asia... and might be the most underrated as well... pretty sure many tourists will eventually come and visit this place......Still thanks for sharing and showing us.... Looking forward to the rest of the journey... Cheers from JB / Singapore..!!

    • @thebuddymoon

    @cwaddell171 Před 9 měsíci

    Did this 2 day trip almost 10 years ago on my first backpacking trip and really liked that journey. Not sure if these boats existed back then but they look far more comfortable (although luckily our boat wasn't too crowded). Don't think hotels like that were there yet either, and we just turned up to get what was available. Sadly our first moments in Pak Beng started off with a pickup rushing past us into town, opposite our hotel, with a young boy who had just drowned in the river and loads of people gathered at that house to mourn all thorugh the night.

    • @thebuddymoon

    Nothing is wrong with Wikipedia. That's a concern people had YEARS ago. Wikipedia always relies on credible sources. Also Wikipedia also says it's the 12th longest river as well. So idk what your buddy saw.

    • @AI-Records24
      @AI-Records24 Před 4 měsíci

      Yes and no. A lot of their information now comes from sources that aren’t verifiable, therefore cannot be fact. A bit like how they describe new world order as a “right wing conspiracy theory” when in actual fact it’s listed on the WEF website. That’s just a tip of the iceberg in the last few years something has happened to it which is really unfortunate. I’m not saying it can’t be trusted it’s very good for a lot of information however it’s not fact unequivocally. You should still check the information yourself.

    Hey Leanne & Dan, love your work and your passion for travel. Have been following your vlogs for some time now and the Thailand-Laos vlogs, in particular, as my wife and i are planning to do the Mekong crossing this November.
    A related question if you can kindly provide info on. Which company did you use for the boat cruise and the name of that lovely place you stayed in at Pak Beng? Would really like to book these. I checked the description and the comments and couldn't find the boat operator's name. Hence the query.
    Thanks! And wish you both the best in your future trips :-)
