Q Bar in Vang Vieng

Q bar was opened in 2009 and it's the local hotspot in Vang Vieng where live DJs play their cool music.

The reason why Q Bar attracts travelers is because of their happy hours, long closing time, cheap buckets, free shots and real party atmosphere!

Where: along the Main road

Sakura Café in Vang Vieng

Lay down on Laotian floor pillows where you can chill and have a Lao beer, while listening to a local music band.

They also have a large movie screen. But they didn't have many movies to choose from, and the movie quality wasn't the best. You could see that the movie was recorded with a video camera.

On the other hand, they get a plus for the relaxed atmosphere, the large space and the cool warm interior!

Smile Bar (Don Khang Island)

Want to lay in hammocks right by the Nam Song River?

This is the place to go!

Many travelers spend their lazy afternoons in the hammocks at Smile Bar, eating, drinking, sunbathing, swimming, eating more.

While you're laying in a hammock, eat delicious grilled pork/chicken/fish and drink cold Lao beer. Or take a swim in the refreshing river. It's the place to go if you just want to hang out, and do nothing.

At nights, you'll find crazy travelers dancing to some DJ music.

To get there, you have to cross a long bamboo bridge over to Don Khang Island.

Did you know that...

... they have "Special" drinks at bars and restaurants. If they have "special drinks or food" on your menu, it`s likely drugged...

Before coming to Vang Vieng, I heard and read about weed, mushroom and opium being mixed in drinks. I didn't believe it until I actually saw it for myself on the menus.

When I went tubing, some of the bars I stopped by, had these menus. They had like opium tea and opium shake. It cost like 50.000-70.000 Kip. They even sprinkle some in your food, like mushroom pizzas.

If you get caught by the local police, there's a $ 500-1000 fine!
