Trip 01-06: Change itinerary?

Gosh, I only have less than 2 weeks for preparation. Having read some feed back and comment from the internet, I might need to cut short the time in Vientiane. Luang Prabang will be the major attraction. Vang Vieng is recommended due to its beautiful scenery. I'm not so sure if it will look like Halong Bay or Tam Coc in Vietnam (I mean the lime stone formation). People go there just to have outdoor activities (caving, kayaking and tubing). Well, we can do this is Malaysia too. Therefore, I will consider to have a short stay in Vang Vieng.

Here's the new itinerary....
6 May - arrive in Vientiane at night.
7 May - Excursion in Vientiane (morning). Catch bus to Vang Vieng at noon. There will be some time to explore Vang Vieng in the evening.
8 May - catch morning bus to Luang Prabang (around 9am). Should arrive in the afternoon.
9 - 10 May - Luang Prabang
11 - 12 May - slow boat to Huoy Xai with overnight in Pak Beng
13 May - cross over to Thailand
14 May - back to Malaysia

This wedding has some similarity with ours but, by comparison in every detail, each is still distinctly unique.

MyVi

Had got my new MyVi last Friday. Initial consumption was a litre for a 10-km drive. Well, it seems quite costly but this is still early to judge as the engine needs up to 5,000km drive to get optimize (that's what people tell me). Enjoy driving it.

Trip 01-06.....rough itinerary

Category: Travel OK, time is catching up. I have about 3 weeks left before the trip. Have drafted out initial itinerary: 6 May - Fly to BKK and transit to Udon Thani. From Udon Thani, go to Nong Khai and cross over Laos border. Immigration office opens until 10pm. Hope to reach Vientiane before midnite. 7 May - Excursion around Vientiane. 8 May - Travel to Vang Vieng. Not really want to spend 11 hours on the bus to get to Luang Prabang. Have a pit stop will be nicer. 9 May - Continue to Luang Prabang. 10 May - Excursion around Luang Prabang. 11 May - Slow boat to Pak Beng. Mandatory pit stop due to slowliness of the boat. 12 May - Slow boat to Huoy Xai. I guess have to over night here (immigration office might be closed at time of arrival). 13 May - Cross over to Thailand. Might not stay in Chiang Rai. Proceed to Chiang Mai. 14 May -Back to Malaysia.
