Tubing

Vang Vieng, Laos

Once a small riverside town, now one of Asia’s main party destinations for travellers. The first night we went out for ‘one drink’ as we were trying to save ourselves for tubing the following day but after multiple free drinks and ‘happy balloons’ we were back at our hotel at gone midnight, oops. The following day was spent tubing with Laura and Graham! This is where you float down the river in a rubber ring, stopping at bars along the way to play various drinking games for free shots and wrist bands. We had such a fun day, we played beer pong, messed about with basket balls and we even stopped to visit a cave. Tubing has been toned down a lot since a few years ago where they had activities like the ‘death slide’ simply given it’s name because of how many people died after drunkenly going down it!
