On the 22nd of December our family went on a 12 hour trip to Laos. When we got to the bus station mum went to buy the tickets and the person at the counter said that the bus would leave in about 2 hours. After mum got all the tickets a man started pulling Mackenzie to the bus. We then found out that we only just made that bus. When we finally took our seats a man who had seen us rushing gave us some chicken and rice. As it turned out the man sat right next to us. After we went about an hour we stopped for a toilet and food break. Once we came back from the toilet we saw the guy that had given us the food at the bus stop with more food for us. Then some ladies that sell food in bags came on the bus and guess what happened? The guy who got us the food the last two times bought us some more chicken and rice and a nose spray. Once he had given us things about 2 more times we learnt that the more whisky he drank the more he gave us things. We arrived in a little town called Nong Khai at 5:30 am; we were awakened by tuk tuk drivers running after the bus like eagles chasing a rat and were eager to get a bit of money from the foreigners on the bus (that was us). We got our money changed over to Kip (Laos’ currency) and got on our way to a new adventure in Laos.

Hi Harrison doods,
I read about your bus trip and it sounded pretty wierd how that Guy gave you chicken and rice.
Did the man on the bus speak English or did you have to speak Thai?
