Vang Vieng
As an antidote to the backpacker scene in Vang Vieng, consider a traditional homestay in Ban Naduang, just 4km northeast of town, but a world away in many respects. All homes include a bed, linen, mosquito net and shared bathrooms. Activities include visiting the nearby Kaeng Nyui Waterfall (30,000K per person) and tree planting (100,000K per group).
Rates vary depending on your meal plan and activities.
