Vang Vieng, Peoples Republic of Laos
Heading South from Luang Prabang and half way to Vientiane, Capital City.

Take the High Speed Train linking North Laos to the Southern capital in one hour, just imagine that......... Book 3 days in advance and expect regimented boarding by sharp suited ladies with massive megaphones, there's airport style security.

On time the silent train glid into a procession of tunnels with teasing flashes of incredible countryside.
This dusty town is the hands down adventure sports capital of South East Asia. There's Climbing, Ballooning, Kayaking, Zip Lines, Paramotoring, Tubing even inside a cave, Trekking, Long tail boating, swimming in a dark cave to see bats (spiders eating them not advertised), Mad Max Buggies etc.
Balloon
First up, ballooning, choose large or small bucket, they carry the same weight, it's just a question of how tightly packed you require.
We launched sideways then rapidly gaining height I realised now would be the perfect time to deploy the rubber snake, if only I'd brought it.
Zippy
There are 3 lines on the way down, this is the final and fastest leg.
Kite
Lacking inflight service it's a good idea to pack some snacks and something to read in your day bag.
Kayak

Fixer
This is the lady that made it all happen ຂàºàºšâ€‹à»ƒàºˆ
