Im heading up to Vientiane in early 2008, anything else then 'play on Ipoker- keep money on Moneybookers' I need to know?
Is Laos as simple as thailand to travel in? It seems like a hot place to be at atm. I like Thailand but its getting a bit wornout and its always good to experience something else..

[/ QUOTE ] It can be almost impossible at times to find a usable internet connection at public places. Assuming you have a laptop, you can get a reliable connection at Joma (Vientiane's version of Starbucks) but you have to pay roughly $2/hr. This is 4-5x what you would pay in an internet cafe. If I'm still here in '08, you can play at my house in exchange for some beer or coaching if you play higher than I do.

There are plenty of buses and inexpensive flights between the major areas of Laos. The country is a lot more spread out than Thailand.
