Luang Prabang, you got to go there just for the name! Great vid, brought back lots of memories!

[@nanwithabackpack]

Yes l really liked Luang Prabang I spent the most time there while in Laos Unfortunately the weather was not good most of the time and a lot of things closed or just not running. I will definitely revisit Laos 🇱🇦

Laos was so beautiful it was like stepping in to a picture. 🥰

[@carolp1912]

This looks so interesting.Laos is somewhere I would love to visit one day.

[@nanwithabackpack]

You really should it is so beautiful and cheaper than Thailand!!!! I would check the weather before hand though as the rainy season is not ideal time to visit.

[@LamiaEssex]

Another day another adventure......When you showed me the elephant sanctuary....I kne you did that deliberately.....hugs

[@nanwithabackpack]

Yes I would have loved to be able to go there to show you but unfortunately I didn’t have time. 🥰

[@alanmcvicar8608]

That food looked amazing! Lovely Laos, must get there one day.

[@nanwithabackpack]

Yes I was ver lucky with the slow boat thankfully the rain stopped and we had a wonderful trip 🥰 Laos 🇱🇦 I’d so beautiful in the sunshine ☀️

[@dianefturner4166]

I was wondering about the insects in your room .I would have run a mile .one day I will tell you a story about the insect population of the Seychelles ,it’s probably still talked about at the hotel even though it’s 44 years. ago 😀

[@nanwithabackpack]

I don’t normally find it too bad now but that could be just because I have been travelling for so long I don’t notice them so much!?!? When I stay in accommodation in more built up areas there tends to be less wildlife about. But as soon as you head into the countryside a bit there are more. Yes I have been bitten but I just put tiger balm on the bites and it’s not too bad. The worst place I have been for bugs was Fraser Island in Australia 🇦🇺 strangely enough. I did get bitten quite a lot in Laos 🇱🇦. When I was wait for the bus in Laos I got chatting to a girl who was recovering from Dengue fever!!!! It took her a week to get over it.

[@paulseoighemcgee5772]

: ) great fun !

[@nanwithabackpack]

Yes it was wonderful 🥰

[@nellybash356]

Love your videos. When exactly were you in Laos? We would like to avoid the rainy season. Did you carry cash and if so which currency and did you take and did you use an ATM? Your packing advice is very useful. Thanks

[@nanwithabackpack]

I was in Laos end July beginning of August. The slow boat was fantastic. The scenery is some of the most beautiful. I used the ATM’s to withdraw currency. It is a closed currency country, which means you cannot get any Lao money outside of the country. And if you leave the country with Currency, you cannot change it into any other currency if that makes sense? I’m so glad you are enjoying my videos. Thank you for watching 🙏🥰

[@nanwithabackpack]

[@montasproge8603]

Enyed the video. Where did You book the slow boat? it seems more spacious than other boats, i have checked out.

[@nanwithabackpack]

@@montasproge8603 I booked it in Chaing mai in a place near the UN Irish bar. I’m sorry but I can’t remember exactly which one.

[@shannonrickards1278]

Pretty and that was a pray mantis in your bed 😂

[@nanwithabackpack]

I was not expecting to be sharing my bed!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@anna_m59]

Sonja, how do you deal with mosquito bites or generally insects?

[@nanwithabackpack]

I have some tiger balm I bought in Thailand it works really well on the bites. 😃

[@anna_m59]

@@nanwithabackpack omg I am using tiger balm for everything at home. I have in my purse in my night table and where I ever can put a bottle. The best is the 4 % camphor , great for migraine and neck pain . Never though for mosquitoes! Lol.

[@nanwithabackpack]

Not sure what % mine is I will have to check.

[@Mr0ptimist]

Gorgeous views ❤️

[@nanwithabackpack]

Yes it was so beautiful like stepping into a photograph.
