ZIPS, SWINGS & TUBES

Vang Vieng is the capital of the world for 'tubing'... well, if it isn't, it should be! For the un-initiated, tubing involves: hiring a giant inner-tube, floating down the river on it and stopping every 5 minutes at each of the riverside bars to order beers and utilise their onsite swings & ziplines over the river. The swings are high and the river is fast - it can be scary stuff, but it IS the best fun ever on a river. We only had one day, but wish we'd had more. We'd also like to give a mention to the Bucket Bar, in town - great music, potent buckets, lovely, open fires & very comfortable hammocks. We will definitely be back!
