A ton of snakes? Wow Dave you are a brave sole. My worst fear is a snake and to think about swimming with several of them is like imagining my worst nightmare.

I am glad to know that you two had a wonderful time. I think I will be crossing Vang Vieng off of the vacation list due to “snakes”. It was nice finding out about this particular spot on the globe through your experiences.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Keith. Yes, we were a little silly (er, should I say Dave was silly) going in the water after seeing the the snake. But then again, there are probably a ton of snakes in that water. The splashing and the jumping around most likely scared them off:-) (we hope) Vang Vieng was a wonderful time, but I have heard that it has changed quickly and is very crowded now.

Hi Dave n Deb,

Your pictures of Vang Vieng are beautiful. It looks like you had a wonderful time. The pic of the bridge is interesting and scary at the same time. (Looks dangerous)

The part about being in the water with a snake over a meter long was startling. Glad to know no one was hurt and your trip ended on a happy note.

Enjoyed this post.

The area around Van Vieng is really beautiful. It is a shame though what the town itself looks like and how mass tourism affects local communities. Don’t you think?
