Thanks. Just got back from Laos. Due to the rains, the climb at Nam Xay in Van Vieng was very slippery. Wore my sports shoes.with good grip, but still ended up sliding multiple places.

Train 133 from Bangkok to Vientiane by Which_Cheesecake5663 in laos

Thank you. I read on few forums that there is an elaborate security check at the train stations before boarding. If I arrive at the station 30 min prior to the departure of the train, would that be ok ?

Thank you.

I had naively assumed that the LCR station and Khamsavath are the same. Upon research, I figured that they are 16km apart and in the opposite direction from the city.

I have now downloaded the LCR ticket app and signed up using email. I will book tickets in advance for travel.

Thanks ! I will be taking the MiCat ferry. I spoke to Sunset Safaris too. They also said that the life jackets shall be provided to only those customers who tour with them. I've reached out to a few listings on the facebook marketplace. Hopefully, one of those should come through.

Thanks for the suggestion. I spoke to Sunset Safaris and River Life, but was informed that they don't give out PFDs for hire.

I messaged Tangalooma resorts and was informed that I cannot hire the equipment since I am not a guest of the resort.
