Tubing in Vang Vieng, Laos, is the most fun you will ever have without taking your clothes off. Well, I would say that, but I actually saw a guy go off one of the rope swings while naked, so I guess that’s out the window! Needless to say, tubing in Vang Vieng is one of

Following our New Year’s Eve in Bangkok, my plan had been to go from Bangkok to Koh Chang and chill out on the beach before heading south for the Full Moon Party on Koh Phangan. As usual, that totally didn’t happen. Chris and Jon had missed New Year’s in Vang Vieng, but they were still determined
