Vang Vieng ... the village homestay

Up ahead, 8-9 hours in our minibus on very bumpy roads. We are on our way to Vang Vieng for a homestay at a nearby tiny village.


At the village we get traditional clothing and a tour of the village. As the people here are farmers, they go to bed early. So for once I find myself in bed at 21:00.

Klong riverboat tour and Wat Po visit

As we have noticed, it's better to do stuff in the morning in Bangkok. In the afteroon it just becomes too much. At that point waiting lines grow exponentially, whether it being for going for lunch or visiting one of the many amazing sites in Bangkok.

You also come across a huge Buddha statue and get a view of the Wat Arun temple complex. Next up was the Royal temple of Wat Po. Wat Po is the home to +1000 Buddha statues/images, from small to large ones, including a massive 46m long reclining Buddha.
