Vang Vieng, Laos | Wonderful Hot Air Balloon Experience & Guide

| Wonderful Hot Air Balloon Experience & Guide. ✅Must Experience: Vang Vieng is a paradise for outdoor sports, many people come here to experience kayaking, diving, paragliding, etc., and my purpose this time is to ride a hot air balloon. The outdoor sports in Vang Vieng are negotiable. I signed up at the hotel owner, she quoted 2.4 million kip, I cut the price to 100 US dollars, this price includes pick-up from the hotel and riding a hot air balloon, besides, no other fees need to be paid. 🚉Travel Guide: Take the train from Vientiane, it takes about an hour to Vang Vieng. ⏳Play Time: There are two time slots for hot air balloons every day, which are sunrise and sunset. 'The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk', so I chose the sunset of the day. At four-thirty in the afternoon, there was a tutu car to pick me up from the hotel on time. Except for me, all the faces on the car were Western. Indeed, there are reasons for the few foreigners . After arriving at the drop-off point, according to the arrangement of the staff, there are ten people on each hot air balloon. After the hot air balloon is filled with air, it can take off. The ascent and descent are very smooth, and everyone is very happy. ⭐Experience Highlights: The feeling of overlooking from the sky is completely different from sitting on a plane, only the real experience can feel the joy . All around are foreigners, it seems that there are no Chinese people in the field, but the pilot who controlled the hot air balloon that day was a Chinese, and I had a few conversations with him, and it felt pretty good. ✏️Play Tips: Like paragliding, when landing, to prevent accidents, you need to bend your knees, that is, stand in a half-squat to prevent impact. Don't bring too much luggage, backpacks are not allowed on the hot air balloon to prevent falling objects from high altitude. The bag should be placed under your feet, and the basket area is limited. If you bring too many things, you can't move your feet, which affects the experience.
