Part one of the three-part vlog series of the Thakhek Loop. Staring in Thakhek, Laos, head East on Route 12. My stops were as follows:
1. Tham Xang Cave (Elephant Cave)
2. Tham Pa Fa Cave (Buddha Cave)
3. Xieng Liab Cave
4. Foreigner's Landing Lake (Tha Falang Lake)
5. Thang Nam Aen Cave
I then arrived in a small village in the sticks called Thalang where I stayed at the Sabaidee Guesthouse for 50,000 kip (Roughly £4.40).
I woke up in the morning and carried on with the second third of the Thakhek Loop going through Lak Sao near the Vietnam Border.

Part two of the three-part vlog series of the Thakhek Loop. Staring in Thalang, Laos, continue West on Route 12. My stops were as follows:
1. Wialing Ghost Cliff
2. Dragon Cave
3. Cool Pool Ban Napavan
I then looked to going down the 45km road to the Kong Lor Cave but online said it was closing within minutes so I wouldn't be able to make it. I settled down in the AOMSIN Guesthouse for 100,000 kip (roughly £8.70) for the night. The owners were angry and acted as though they didn't really want me there.
I woke up in the morning, fresh and carried on with the second third of the Thakhek Loop.

Part three of the three-part vlog series of the Thakhek Loop. Staring at the road leading down to the Kong Lor Cave and then continuing West on Route 12 until the loop is complete. My stops were as follows:
1. Kong Lor Cave
2. Limestone Forest Viewpoint
3. Thakhek (end of the Thakhek Loop)
Once I had completed the first two stops, it was time to drive back to Thakhek and book into a hotel. Driving in Laos is very difficult and dangerous. When it is light, I could wear my sunglasses and these would act as a barrier not only to the sun but to debris such as sand and grit which lorries and cars throw up as they are going past or driving in front of me.
As soon as the sun went down, in the late hours of the evening, it became difficult to see so I had to remove the sunglasses. Not having any more eye protection, I had to wing it and hope for the best.
When darkness falls, driving, especially a motorbike, becomes very dangerous. Cars and lorries overtake into oncoming traffic and as they are bigger, they have right of way. Once or twice I had to stop completely as far over as I could so that I didn't get flattened by an artic. Not only this, many people, including lorry drivers, drive with their high beams on constantly which can dazzle other drivers. This coupled with no street lighting and a poor headlamp on the motorbike was a recipe for disaster.
I am glad we have it different in the UK!
I made it back to Thakhek with no injuries, apart from an extremely sore leg because a large stone flew up and hit me. I should have been wearing jeans!

#059 Weltreise - Endlich am Ziel! •Konglor Cave - Laos•
Tag 3 unseres Loops. Ganz gemütlich starten wir in den Tag. Die Konglor Cave, unser eigentliches Ziel steht heute am Programm. Von unserer Unterkunft sind es 40 Kilometer. Erst zu Mittag kommen wir dort an, essen was und fahren mit dem Boot durch die Höhle! WOW!! ???? Da fehlen einem die Worte! Sie scheint endlos zu sein. Und was Wasser, diese grüne Farbe .. der HAMMER! ????
Tag 4 unseres Loops. Wir fahienr zurück nach Thakhek! ???? 148 Kilometer stehen am Tagesprogramm. Davon fahren wir fast 100 Kilometer am 'Highway' entlang. Am Ende des Tages sind wir müde, geschafft und überglücklich es geschafft zu haben! :D
Mit Abstand, war dieser Moped Loop das schönste, was ich in ganz Laos gemacht habe. Jeder der durch Laos reist, gerne Moped fährt und ein bisschen Zeit mitbringt .. macht diesen Moped Loop in Thakhek! ???? Ihr werdet es nicht bereuen! (:

So I tried to overcome my fear of heights… I had only just gotten used to the idea of indoor climbing again as I hadn’t been climbing in over a year since I broke my ankle (through climbing). So yeah outdoor climbing was pretty scary… at first. After a while,I think I got the hang out if and actually surprised myself!
It was one of the best days out in Chiang Mai! Was so satisfying to be in nature and get active! We went to crazy horse buttress by van and it was only 80 baht one way.
Thanks again to Chris for organising this and for everyone for helping me film :)

ABOUT
Hi I'm Jess, a part time YouTuber, full time disappointment to my parents. Graduated from uni last year, figuring out life - I know there’s more to life than blindly following my dad’s dream of becoming a lawyer. #aintnobodygottimeforthat
My philosophy is to ‘make life sweet not sour’, to see the silver lining and make the most out of life, hence the name sweet and sour vlogs – a day without laughter is a day wasted!
I bought a one way ticket from Birmingham to Bangkok to leave my life in UK behind and begin a new chapter. My dream is to live a life of travel, filming videos on YouTube as I go whilst funding myself as an online video editor.
Subscribe to get new videos weekly and join the sweet and sour journey! I upload 3 X a week on Tuesday, #TakeawayThursday and #SweetandSourSunday.
