LAOS
Getting
Around
With Laos's road conditions improving at long last, buses have begun
displacing river travel, the traditional means of getting around.
However, passenger boats still regularly ply the Mekong, Southeast
Asia's ancient highway, and many roads are still potholed. Indeed,
in some cases, they're downright dangerous because of local bandit
activity. You only need to travel for a week or two in Laos before
you realize that timetables are irrelevant, and estimated times
of arrival pointless - wherever you go, the journey seems to take
all day.
