 The folding map by SirRichard
It costs 2 USD and is OK if you have nothing else, but...
if you arrive by plane you can have one FOR FREE at the airport. In the same hall where U get the visa there are piles of them. So take one there...
... or take several and sell them in Vientiane, LOL Leave a Comment

 Arc de Triomphe wanna-be by call_me_rhia
Bring a very powerful zoom and take pics of That Luang in the distance, or else count the number of cars: you'll be amazed at how few youcan see,giving that Vientiane is the capital.
Save the 1,000 kip (or so) climbing fee and give it to someone in need - there's enough people in Vientiane who could need thus money, although it's very little (about 10 cents in fact). Leave a Comment

Ganja must be one of the biggest tourist traps in Lao.
Here is my theory:
the locals sell cheap ganja to tourists for around 20 000 kip (2 usd), wich is good :-)
BUT when you get your munchies....
you will qickly spend your well earned money on exensive food like: pizza, banana pancake and fruit shake (can be cheap) .... :-)
If you are traveling on a budget i recommend you stickto sticky rice and sunflowerseeds for the munchies :-) Leave a Comment

There are a lot of them, carrying little brother or sister on their back. You dont know what to do with them.
If you are not prepare to give, just smile and said no. They will then leave you alone.. Leave a Comment

 Free a bird, sir? by Hewer
The best way to support their freedom is by just not supporting the practice. They wouldn't be put into cages in the first place if noone was paying for their release.
My great-grandfather made money selling his trained pigeons to the local gun club, whichis kind of the same thing. I still don't approve though :-) Leave a Comment

 Ever-attentive at the Victory
Monument ticket desk by Hewer
If you go in knowing this and accept it, then it won't bother you. There's no point worrying about 50 cents here and a dollar there because this is often what the difference amounts to. At least they are open about it - it's always clearly advertised so there are no surprises. Leave a Comment
