Sabaidee and it means hello in Laos. Yup, I am currently having another travel adventures of mine in Laos for 8 days. And to be frank, 8 days seems insufficient for me cause I only managed to cover the central and northern part. But I believe perhaps, someday I might doing another revisit trip to Laos again to cover on the southern area.
Anyway, this is what I did throughout my 8 days trip in Laos:
#1: Arrived in Vientiane and visited Patuxay - Victory Gate of Vientiane
#2: Took 3 and half hour bus ride to Vang Vieng and watching Friends in a restaurant with the rest of the travellers due to heavy rain.
#3: Took another 6 hours plus bus ride to Phonsavan or known as Xieng Khouang and visited Plain of Jars, one of Southeast Asia's most mysterious prehistoric place.
#4: Again another 6 hours plus bus ride to Luang Prabang and I really love this UNESCO Heritage Town.

#5: Woke up early morning to witness tak bat, the morning alms ceremony where the local and tourists gave foods to the Buddhist monks every morning in Luang Prabang.
#6: After stayed 2 days in Luang Prabang, took more than 12 hours bus ride back to Vientiane and visited Pha That Luang
I did experience many kinds of different things throughout this trip which I never came across before. Met many travellers from different part of the world; such as from Switzerland, Korea, Taiwan, Australia and more. Most of the time I travelled with my friends and family, therefore I never had the chance to do so but for this, I'm glad I did. By just listened to their travel stories, where some of them travelled at least two months to half year by travel across the border from one country to another country, it's pretty interesting and adventurous to me - makes me wanna leave everything behind and do so, but I know I can't.
Some local and even the Buddhist monks thought that I am Thai. Seriously, I think I need to learn how to speak Thai somehow. What surprised me was the monks approached and we had conversation for almost half and hour. I never thought that the monks can speak English very well. Another interesting things, right? And another thing that I pretty amazed with myself was I had more than 24 hours bus ride throughout this trip. It was freaking #butthurt but then I enjoyed watching the beautiful scenery.
#7: And with this, I concluded that I had done visited 9 out of 10 ASEAN countries. So can you make a wild guess which country I haven't visit yet? You might win yourself a mysterious gift.
