Van Vieng
Moby | 13/5/2006Hired a motorbike yesterday. drove out to some of the caves, even had a swim in one of them.
Looked a right tourist: caving w flipflops, camera & a lao made headlamp( 12v motorbike battery around my neck, inline light switch to a bulb strapped on my head.
Carried on out into the wilderness and managed to get a flat tyre. Stopped in front of a house where there was a bit of a party going on. They said they could fix it for 500baht. We said how about 5USD. He said 10USD. went back and chatted to the others, and came back and said $5 was good!
Had a hilarious time watching drunk guys change our tyre, even one of the woman pointed out a brake part they hadn’t reattached.
Very cool day. Pics
