		<description><![CDATA[The beautiful, remote village of Nong Khaiw (Nong Kiaw, Nong Kiew, Nong Kiau, or however you want to spell it!) is an absolute must visit for those heading to Northern Laos. Only a 4 hour bus away (albeit bumpy) it is a refreshing change from the lively and touristy cultural hub of Luang Prabang. Sadly, [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is SO much to do in Luang Prabang we decided we wouldn&#8217;t even bother trying to list all of them. We visited twice during our time in Laos (once before and once after Nom Kiaw) and we loved it, so here&#8217;s a couple of our favourite LP activities.

		<description><![CDATA[For backpackers travelling from Thailand into Laos, the most common option is to take the 2 day slow boat up the Mekong river. But for various reasons relating to comfort, safety and convenience, we decided on a much easier alternative to the Mekong slow boat. Despite the breathtaking scenery of rural Laos, the general consensus [&#8230;]]]></description>

At the time of our visit, Luang Namtha wasn&#8217;t really on the map for your average party-hard backpacker, so the bar and late night tourism scene hadn&#8217;t [&#8230;]]]></description>
