Scams in Vientiane

I searched for scams in Vientiane and don't see many info. I went to Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand and there are many there.

Are Laos people much more honest or are there hidden scams?

I'm going there tomorrow.

Thanks

24h bars to watch the World Cup

Hello,

Any recommendations to watch the World Cup quarter finals? I guess it should be 24 h bars or at least opening for those games.

Ideally near Soi Buakhao, with great ambience.

Thank you

Help with ferry

I had a flight at 1 pm from Surat Thani to Chiang Mai for the next week.

I was going to catch a ferry + van service and arrive at 11 am at the airport.

However the flight (Thai Air Asia) has now changed to 10:30 am and I dont find any good option to go from Koh Samui and arrive at the Surat Thani airport before 9 am.

Any suggestions? So far I think i would take the ferry the night before and sleep near the airport.

Thanks

​Short 4-Day Samui Itinerary (Dad 65 & Brother 17). Need feedback!

Hi everyone!

​

Doing a short trip to Koh Samui with my 65yo father and 17yo brother. Looking for a balance between relaxation for dad and fun for the teen.

​

​Base: Fisherman’s Village (Bophut).

​

​Transport: Renting a car for July 1st and 2nd only.

​

​Does this pacing make sense?

​

​June 29 (Arrival): Flight to Surat Thani (11:30-12:45) + Bus/Ferry combo (13:30-17:30). Evening at Fisherman's Village.

​

​June 30 (No Car): Angthong Marine Park day trip. Night: Go-Karting for the teen, then ARK Bar fire show.

​

​July 1 (Car Day 1): Boat to Koh Tan from south pier. Afternoon: Waterfall (Hin Lad or Na Muang) OR ATV/Zipline. Night: Lamai Market.

​

​July 2 (Car Day 2): Big Buddha, Lad Koh viewpoint, Hin Ta Hin Yai rocks, and Silver Beach. Sunset at Jungle Club.

​

​July 3 (Departure): Early Ferry/Bus to Surat Thani (07:00-11:00)

​

​Quick Questions:

​

​Is Angthong Marine Park too physically demanding for a 65yo if he skips the steep viewpoints and just stays on the beach? Any day trip alternative?

​

​Best afternoon compromise for July 1st? (Teen wants adventure like ATV/Zipline, dad needs comfort).

​

​Can a standard rental car drive up to Jungle Club, or should we park at the bottom and take their shuttle? Is there a good alternative to that club viewpoint?

​

​Thanks!

Bar hosts for foreigner women?

A female foreigner friend is visiting me here in Thailand.

She asked me if she could have some "fun" with men, as she saw in some movies that thai women go there to pay hosts for drinks and fun nights...

I guess those bars are for thai women as little English will be spoken. Can foreigner women go? Do you know any?

Bangkok or Pattaya are okay for recommendations

Thanks

My friend is visiting me in Bangkok with his 17 y/o male brother.

Any fun activities you could recommend for the 17 y/o?

I thought about chatuchak, icon siam, mbk, chinatown, khao san rd, muay thai.... at that age he's not very interested on the culture/tourism stuff 🙄

I guess we aren't allowed in rooftop places like Tichuca?

Thanks in advance
