Workation in Vang Vieng: the essentials
Vang Vieng is a small town on the Nam Song river between Vientiane and Luang Prabang, set against a wall of limestone karst. The tubing party era ended in 2012; today the draws are hot-air balloons, blue lagoons, kayaking, rock climbing and caves, and the Laos-China railway (an hour from Vientiane) has made it easy to reach. Costs are among the lowest in the region, with guesthouse and small-house rentals from 200 euros and good river-view cafes. For remote work it is basic: no coworking space, cafe Wi-Fi that commonly sits under 20 Mbps, occasional power cuts and a 4G backup that is essential. The town is scruffy, with a backpacker and Chinese-tour mix, and English is patchy. Vientiane's airport is the gateway. Suits a couple of weeks of outdoor mornings and light work, with the dry, cool season (November to February) the time to come.
