I arrived back in VTE after a few days in Tha Heua with Da, one of the young girls I had met on the bus going up to Saisomboun. The That Luang festival, probably the largest in Laos had already started and I was lucky enough to catch the closing days.

Along with the festivities I met up with Jo a school teacher from England for a drinking session as well as a few old Lao friends (and a few new ones…).

My last night in VTE was spent in the “Khop Jai Deu” restaurant and then the disco in the large Mekong Hotel, a venue I have been to many times, usually rather drunk, but always fun.
