i was in Vang Vieng 9 years ago. Wow, it did not look like this. Tourism has really taken off.
I had a friend go to the Full Moon party last year. Said it was like 8 guys to every 1 dirty backpacking/dreadlocked swamp donkey.

I have a friend in Vang Viang now. Ripped asian dude, he's pulled 2 girls in two nights there.

Couple of years ago, Yahoo voted Belgrade the number one party destination in the world.
It's maybe not quite what it was, but the nightlife is really cool, mixture of fancy places and hip underground clubs/bars.

Exactly, better stick to the places with holidaying Swedish girls like Thailand

I was in Vang Vieng 3 days ago. It was definitely not my scene at all; only lasted 36 hours before I had to get out. Besides the unattractive backpacker ghetto town itself the girls were truly awful, either grotty backpackers or shockingly ugly gap-year types herded around on an organized tour. Not recommended.
I can't have sex with your personality, and I can't put my penis in your college degree, and I can't shove my fist in your childhood dreams, so why are you sharing all this information with me?

Vang Vieng is OK, the surrounding area is beautiful, there's loads of outdoor activities to do. The tubing is fun IF you actually tube, most people just stand at the 3 bars at the start of the river and don't actually float down it on the rubber ring. It's a great experience, beer in one hand, joint in the other, floating down a river with mountains and jungle surrounding you, stop somewhere on route for more beer and magic mushies. Then there's other stuff like kayaking, the blue lagoon, rock climbing, caves to explore and so on. However it's a town that's been built exclusively for backpackers so if you're not one of those you'll be bored quickly. I went a few years ago now and probably wouldn't rush back but I had fun at the time, though do remember getting pissd off at some of the stupid backpackers at times.
It's definitely not one of the best party spots in the world IMO though. Just a small village in the middle of nowhere filled with backpackers getting drunk by a river all day.
