Laos is a country in South East Asia surrounded by China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Burma. Hitchhiking is fairly uncommon, and sometimes people will ask you for money. Yes, hitching in laos is pretty hard, especially in the north, that was my experience.

In the 80s a lot of people went to Russia for their studies, and these are often people who cars these days, so you might be able to use your Russian skills.


Cities

Sleeping: The cheapest hostel in Vientiane is on the left side if you enter the town (sleepy vientiane is not really a city) from the north (luangprabang). unfortunately i dont remember the name, but it s only 2$. in this area are also many other hostels, so get of your car instead of being dropped in the center as this saves you a 20min walk.
