Photo of the Day - Sunset in Vang Vieng, Laos

Sunset in Laos's party destination, Vang Vieng
Vang Vieng


Love it or hate it , this Disneyland for backpackers has it become one of the 'it' destinations of South East Asia. A small village set in some incredible mountain scenery, full of bars showing Friends and The Simpsons on loop while flipping out burgers and fries, Vang Vieng is not an authentic experience. But it is a hell of a lot of fun. Floating down the river in a tractor tube stopping at bars and taking on some ridiculous rope swings (aka tubing) is the must-do activity in this part of the world – yes it's shamelessly tacky and more than a little dangerous but for a lot of people it's the highlight of their trip. If you can't beat them, join them!
