In the end of April my friend and I went to Laos to get new Thai visas. It was too early for me, but I wanted to see Vientiane and also I had no desire to pay 2000 THB for extending my visa for a month, when I can pay the same amount for money for a new visa that can help me to stay in Thailand for 4 month without any extra pay.
So we went to Laos . I haven’t seen much of the country, only it’s capital, Vientiane . One of my new friends here, in Chiang Mai, told me, that Vientiane is her least favorite part of Lao P.D.R. and that I need to see more. I’m sure she’s right, but I actually loved Vientiane . It has that Indochina vibe that actually makes you feel like a character from an old movie.
