They come back with a different name but they are usually easy to spot 2nd time around.Its the sense of deja vu you get when you read the post then have a look at the profile or any links they put in.

Travelfish have long flagged correspondents from Vietnam because of the volume of this type of thing

I have already purchased the SR to LP flight so that is locked in. But based on what I am hearing from other forum members, I like your idea of keeping it to Northern Laos, then fly to PP and save so much bus time in Laos. Thanks for your time and advice.

A year ago we went LP, Huay Xai, Gibbon Experience, Phonsavan/Plane of Jars, Vientiane - Phnom Phen, SR, bus to Bangkok. About 17 days, no hurry.
