                <description><![CDATA[If you're in Vang Vieng you're probably a backpacker and you'll probably love tubing on the river. For a couple of dollars you can hire a giant inflated inner tube and get a ride in a pickup to a shallow point of the river a few miles upstream. Get in your tube, float down the river. On the way various people will sell you large Beerlaos for a dollar each and there's various rickety swings and bridges to jump from. The river's not deep or fast and the scenery is absolutely stunning: jagged limestone karst cliffs, jungle and blue skies.<br><br>The ride should take about three hours, but took our group around five with the low river and larking about. Take sun cream. Great fun.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Cheap, clean, hotel located close to backpacker amenities. I paid 175 baht for a single fan room - pretty reasonable for the Khao San Road area of Bangkok. To say the room was Spartan would be an overstatement, but it and the shared bathrooms were clean and perfectly adequate for a short stay on a budget.<br><br>It's slightly away from Khao San Road so a bit quieter than some of the other hotels but still convieniently close to the action.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Cheap, freshly cooked vegan/vegetarian food in the backpacker area of Bangkok. Particularly recommended are the Thai Green and Massaman curries with tofu.<br><br>May also runs half-day cooking courses that are well worth trying out, though a touch pricey - in Thai terms - at 1000baht (£12). Each course includes a hair-raising tuk-tuk trip to the markets to get the essential Thai ingredients followed by hands-on tuition for 10 or so dishes. You'll be eating each one after you make it so skip breakfast that morning.]]></description>
