You can’t get anywhere quickly in Laos. This is generally true across SE Asia, but it’s especially true in Laos. Tourists can fly from one major city/tourist area to the next, but you miss everything that’s in-between. And that’s the thing that differentiates “vacation” from “travel,” I think: vacation is much more about reveling in a final destination; travel is just as much about, well, the travel. So for three weeks in Laos and Cambodia, the way we got from one place to the next was either by slow bus or very bumpy van.
