We went for the whole, tubing and getting drunk experience. Went for the yellow tubes, stopped at the two bars and enjoyed the hour long float back to town. It's a shame that they couldn't improve the tubing scene without changing it so dramatically because...More

Red tubing route is super chilled out. We struggled a little to find the office but when we did we were bundled into a Tuk Tuk with a free beer and some other people. There's a bar at the start and end, and about an...More

Really good fun - bring plenty of money for drinks and expect good drinking games. Lots of tuk tuk drivers tried to get us out the water early as it was almost dark (we stayed in) but make sure you leave early enough to finish...More

Tubing the Namsong River is probably the most famous (used to be infamous) activity in Vang Vieng. There are basically two options, the red tube run which is downstream from Vang Vieng and the yellow tube run which starts upstream (north) of Vang Vieng. I...More
