There is a bit of a scene in Lao. In Luang Prabang Kob Chai Bar and Lao Lao Restaurant gay owned and frequented. In Vientiane Pak Luk Bar is a gay bar. Kob Chai Der Bar and adjoining fountain area good for cruising.

I like Lao because of the quieter way of life and under developed nature of the place. Bangkok is nice for 3 or 4 days then off to the mountains and rivers of Lao for me..................with my Lao BF !
