Vang Vieng used to be known as the hedonistic party central in Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n

This small little town in rural Laos was slowly gaining a bad reputation due to its many ridiculous drug-fueled parties, topped off with many drunken accidents and deaths. Due to this, the Lao government finally put their hand down as they started to crack down on the drugs and extreme parties.<\/p>\n

The result? This sleepy town is slowly rebranding itself as an outdoor destination where people can enjoy the stunning scenery while making the most of its diverse landscape and activities. So while there is still some partying and fun happening in Vang Vieng, it is no longer the crazy off-the-chain madness that it was once known for.<\/p>\n

To help you out in your planning, here are a few of the best places to stay in Vang Vieng for both hotels and hostels.<\/p>\n
