DRUGS

Since the 2012 clean-up, drugs are not so widespread in Vang Vieng; certainly the likes of yaba (methamphetamine) is no longer available. But dope is still around and local police are particularly adept at sniffing out spliffs, especially late at night. If you’re caught with a stash of marijuana (or anything else) it can be expensive. The normal practice is for police to take your passport and fine you US$500. Don’t expect a receipt, and don’t bother calling your embassy.

If you must use opium, don’t mix it with too much else and certainly not with lime juice. Several Vang Vieng residents told us that at least one traveller has died after using opium and having an innocuous-sounding glass of lime juice. According to local folklore, this mix has long been used by hill-tribe women who suicide as an ultimate act of protest against a bad husband.
