While in Vang Vieng i had a few happy shakes on night at a bar.
The shakes are quiet popular in the town infact, Unfortnately i became violently ill after having drank a few and spent the next few days in bed having fits of paranoia, true story

In Vientiane, a Laotian told me to beware of the misused of opium when he heard that I am visiting vang viang. Vang Viang instead of known as little khao san, it is also known as an opium village where you can get somebody else offering you drugs.
However the situation is better now where there are still foreigners taking opium there but not so open.

Walking at night in Vang Viang can be very dangerous in the sense that this small village doesnt have street light.
If you are riding motorbike, it is even more dangerous because there are a lot of holes on the road. If not careful enough, these holes can cause accidents.
If your gueshouse is far from the crowded area (far can means 3-5 m inutes walk), remember to carry a torchlight with you. It is important to know the road condition ahead of you and let the motorcyclist know you are there.
