Don't let the local Laotians sell you what they tell the tourists is opium. It's not  Wink

I tend not to partake in drugs when traveling in developing countries,  unless I really know the people.

I did have a fun night on mushies at the Koh Phangan beach party many years ago   Smiley

Maybe you were that guy I saw in the water just gazing out to sea?
A blonde Kiwi warned me of my choice of 'mushroom omellete' on the Menu (4 hours before I was due to leave).
"See that guy out there."

Apparently Vietnam has become more expensive over the years since it opened up to Tourism.
Now its become a bit of a Tourist trap with many preferring the far cheaper Cambodia as an alternative.

Yep - its hard to find a cheap, pristine, simple 'other nation' experience these days.
