Changes

It is illegal (?) to sleep outside in Laos as the government wants tourists to spend their money on guest houses. Don't overly worry, however -- [[User:Zenit|Zenit]] was woken up by police once when camping in plain view on the road and only had his passport details taken. On many more occasions nobody bothered him. As in Thailand, also in Laos it is possible to sleep in Wats (temples), but due to government tourism policies it's all much less certain than in Thailand. As in hitchhiking, the further north you get the smaller your chances get to find a place to sleep in a temple.
