Drinking cocktails down a river

I have heard of a river somewhere near Vientiane, that you can go to and float down it on a rubber ring. The river has bars all along the side of it which you can float into and drink cocktails.

Has anyone heard of this place and do you have any information about it you can tell me? Thanks

Its called Vang Vieng. I haven%26#39;t heard of too many people drinking cocktails though, beer certainly. The landscape is a beautiful karst landscape. The downside is that there are far too many drunk and stoned backpackers for my likeing, eating lousy food and watching re runs of friends.

Vang Vien is about 3 hrs drive from VTE and yes everybody floats down river on a intertube with little bars set up along the way to stop at and have a beer some have rope swings and things to jump off of into the water , it is fun bring some sunblock with you as I am in VTE now and my friend who just went looks like a red lobster right now and wishes he had put on some sunblock especially us falangs that have come here at the end of winter and are not use to the sun, callao

Sounds very interesting in Veng Vieng.

Can Veng Vieng be covered on a day trip from VTE?

Yeh I think you could, it%26#39;s around a 3 hour drive, but we are planning on staying there for a few nights
