Very good trip :))) The transport was very different and funny! Especially the boat trip. The first guesthouse was very well.

Get ready to have fun, to discover things and people (and drink beer lao)
Your trip will be just amazing! Be patient and everything will be fine! A bit quick in 16days so take your time if possible and explore!! Go for it!!

Did the Full Moon pass with no stop offs (limited time) and had an amazing time. Tubing, white water rafting, elephant treks were so much fun as well as the added extras you dont get told about - such as a porn star local guide!

If you can take your time its worth doing as you spend alot of time travelling but even if you do it without stops you still get to experience the real Laos.

I've just got back from the Full moon tour and had an awesome time. Laos is a great county with some beautiful people but you must remember Laos is a developing country so make sure you have the right expectations... bumpy roads, dust, stray dogs etc etc.

Take lots of risks and feel free to bond with the locals; it will enhance your trip and broaden your horizons. Make sure you get stuck into the tubing and consume as many buckets as you can... you'll find out what i mean. Take that and party!

I just returned from an awesome Full Moon trip around Laos. The tour was well organised. All accommodations and transportations were perfectly arranged. The tour guides are cool and helpful guys and the local guides can tell interesting and very amusing stories!

WICKED TRIP!!! Me and a buddy did the Tom Yum pass and had a ball!!! We had two different guides thru our trip Vinay and Kate who were both legends... Elephant rides in Chang Mai, crazy food, lively bus trips, Caves, amazing water holes and really great stops that we would never have done on the normally backpacker trail. Thanks Guys it was AMAZING haha not to mention the tubing!!

Just got back from an amazing Christmas trip with Stray. We did the Tom Yum pass through N. Thailand and Laos. I can't imagine a better way to spend Christmas day than tubing down The Nam Ou in Vang Vieng with that crazy group of people. I'd definitely recommend this

Tom yum pass was amazing! All the stops were really good, and had an awesome time !!!
The tour leaders were outstanding and really laid back :D

TUBING ROCKS!!!! Just hold on tight to your sunnies!

Hangovers + bumpy roads = NOT RECOMMENDED BY STRAY!!!
Just do it - it is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude, It'll change you.
Great staff and guides, makes travelling this part of the world so much easier and way more fun. You get to interact with the locals and experience the culture, far more than you would have on your won. Plus, they know where all the good bars are!

A rock is a rock and...a river is a river but its the people (on and off) the bus that have made this trip great. Good drink, great people, and awesome memories, Thanks!

Awesome!!

We have had an amazing time travelling on the stray in Asia!!! such a brilliant organisation, can not fault stray and really has helped make our trip unforgetable. Thanks Stray, staff are excellent and really friendly!!!!

This trip has been amazing. I enjoyed every stop alot! The tour guides were very funny, knew alot about the areas and sights and also helped out with communicating with the locals.
I can only recommend this to all travellers for south east asia. It's the perfect combination of individual and guided travelling.

As we researched Laos some more. We realised how hard it can be to get around the country. There is a lot to see and everything seemed so spread out. There are no trains. Local buses are frequent but they take a long time. It would be a long time sitting on local buses to get to places where they were unlikely to speak much English and where we would need to figure out our own accommodation and onward transport. We wanted more. We wanted to experience Laos with other people and to be comfortable. Most importantly, we wanted to see everything we wanted to see. So we booked stray and it was awesome!
