legendarysurfer Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Anyone have recent or fairly recent intel on outdoor beer gardens or bars where freelancers ply their trade in Vientiane? I'm particularly interested in day-time venues, as I'm not much of a late-night person... Advance thanks to all responders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slipperylobster Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) Read the warning on the US Consulate website for Laos. Know the rules. Mekong Hotel is huge for Chinese tourists to go. Karaoke stuff and, I suppose, freelancers. I heard it is noisy there, and you might feel a bit out of place. Otherwise, you might have to ask some local farang types. Don't trust any Lao people to point you in the right direction. Police will be knocking on your hotel door shortly after your date arrives. Seriously, wait until you get back to Thailand. Last time I went with my Thai girlfriend, it seemed almost every hotel was booked solid....although nobody was in sight. We thought they may have had "suspicions" .

Flanno Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 It appears the sex tourists are spreading their wings into Laos now. Don't be surprised if we start reading press reports of farangs being jailed there for such activites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post lovelaos Posted September 3, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 3, 2014 Yet again more c**p being posted about Laos. They are everywhere, just hang around and they will find you. If not, try hiring a tuk tuk and ask for pusao/lady/boom boom or just grab your crutch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killian30 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 It would made a great Troll post but it seems you are serious. Freelancing is not a good idea in Lao as of their culture. I would respect it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendejo Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I agree with what was said above: wait until you get back to Thailand. The street action in VTE is usually chicks with dicks, and they can be pretty aggressive, shouting down the street as you walk away from them. Do not trust taxi/tuktuk drivers and touts, they'll rat you to the cops. A few years ago the Nigerians were becoming too much of a presence and once the authorities gave the problem some attention they were gone practically overnight, which shows how effective the police can be when they want to. I like Vientiane and Lao, have spent a lot of time there, though I liked it better ten years ago. I'm just telling it like it is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
