Drink some water

Drinking

I went to a shop to drink some water. I always get a sore throat after drinking cold water, so we bought a non-cold drink. The friend who bought it took the first sip and threw it away. I took the bottle from him to see what was going on and took a sip too. Whoops. That wasn't water, it was local rice wine. Two Chinese guys sitting inside the shop were holding their stomachs and laughing. Since they couldn't laugh directly, the shop girl covered her mouth and laughed. It was a little more expensive than water. But those bottles were plastic bottles for water. They had refilled them and put Rice Wine in them. The next time we went to the same place in town, we had the same fun. That time, we bought a bottle of water straight from the pack. Local rice Wine is quite popular in Laos. Recently, a tourist in Laos got a case of methanol poisoning. I think it must have been from using a high-end brand.

Bus trip.

This was also a sleeper bus. A small boy sat on my bed. We put all our bags in the hold. I had put my bag in the hold when I went to get some groceries, guys. So it was a 14-hour journey. A normal journey is 10-12 hours. On the way, a multi-axle vehicle carrying a large container got stuck in the middle of the mountainous  road. It was stuck in a ditch. We had to wait two or three hours for it to be removed. Lao people are cruel. Our friend, who was watching the work without blinking an eye, said that the stuck vehicle could have been removed much easier. I tried to sleep at that time, thank goodness.

The Lao woman's pee valve is a little above the water, and after two or three hours, they scream. They stop the bus by screaming. The place where they suddenly stop has good latrine, so they go there. In a deserted area where there is no latrine, they go a little further, take off their pants, and lower themselves to the ground. I remember when I went to Nepal, that happened too.

There is a lot of drama on the bus. The guy who calls home and tells the details. The jockeys who laugh at him when he hears it. The mother who brings a lot of children and scolds them. The little one who asks for the phone and calls her mother "slut" out of pity.. The couple who hugs her and goes to bed with the baby. Many different characters go on the bus. The bus route is through a lonely mountainous area. The bus goes straight, winding mountains and slopes. In our country, Sri Lanka, the mountains take three to four hours to reach. But the journey from Mueang Xai(Oudomxay) to Vientiane took eight to ten hours through the mountains.

If there had been a train, that journey would have been a two-hour journey. Since there was no train, we had to take a long, boring 14-hour charter trip.

Vang Vieng  stop

This bus also stopped at the same place where we got off the train, Vang Vieng  Luang Prabang. The bus stopped at a beautiful place near Vang Vieng. The scenery there was very beautiful. As we stopped at other places, some people went to pee. Some people went to eat. A beautiful stream also flowed through there. They take the crabs from this stream and sell them while they are still alive. Several people on the bus also bought those crabs. We were also looking forward to buying those crabs, saying, "Hey, this is a family life in Samsara." I don't know if they raise crabs. There, the bus goes to the town. The people in the town had to buy things they didn't have. Those kinds of medicines, grains, and then orchids. They would pick the orchids from the jungle and sell them.

We didn't stop for much at night. But we stopped at a good place to eat in the morning. They cook Chinese noodles right there in hot water. They make something like soup in a big barrel. They put the noodles in a large, mesh-lined spoon and put them in the water. They put it in a bowl with leaves and other pieces of meat and shape it. The Lao people who eat with sticks would open the bowls and open the noodles. We didn't eat anything. We drank milk bottles and ate biscuits. We don't know how long the bus had been waiting. Besides, I had a slight stomachache.

So we arrived in Vientiane at around 11-12 noon the next day. It was a really long bus ride. We got off the bus at 4 pm the day before and it was around 11 am the next day. #amila2r 

Nothing to see

26

Woke up early the next morning. My friends insisted that we leave this deserted place (Muang Xai) as soon as possible, saying that there was nothing to see. I told them so. There were actually things to see there. But there was nothing special about it compared to what we had seen the previous days. We were not that interested in seeing more because of the same viewpoints, caves, etc.

In the morning, I walked around the town a bit. There were clothes like in a place like Pettah  World Market. But I thought there were no such people. It was a fake place. I got my dollars exchanged at a nearby gold shop. Is exchanging dollars at gold shops the same as in our country?

After that, I asked the price at the train station from the city, and it was only forty thousand Lao kip. It was raining a little at that time. After hearing the price, I came back and had breakfast. The food there was average. There was a yogurt, which was soup. It tasted great. After the yogurt, we went to the station for a break. As usual, when we went to the counter from the queue, the Chinese woman showed us the same smile and said that there were no seats today, nor tomorrow, nor the day after, nor until Monday. We couldn't go on Monday. So we talked about trying another way. After talking, we came to the Muan Xai bus station.

Like everywhere else in Laos, Muan Xai has two bus stations. The southern one goes to Vientiane. We should be in Bangkok in three or four days. From where we were, it was about 1,200 kilometers and 24 hours to Bangkok. The road we had to take to get to the Thai border through the Lao capital was long. It would be easier to cross the Lao-Thai border to Myanmar. Because that road goes through the plains. But I think there are no buses in that direction either, so the woman at the bus stand told us.

Avoiding the flight

There was a flight from Muan Xai to Vientiane, which cost about seven hundred thousand kip. But the flight was the next day. I really wanted to stay in Muan Xai for another night. But my friends didn't like it that much. So I booked a bus to come back from Vientiane. The bus is in the afternoon.

Haircut

This happened the other day. One day in Vientiane, I saw a salon where beautiful girls were getting their hair cut. I asked the price and they said it was about sixty thousand Lao kip. Since my hair was long, I went and said I needed to cut it. The most beautiful girl there came and cut my hair. She also cut my beard. But she couldn't give me instructions like leaving a little space there to hold it in place. When I first asked her how I wanted it, she showed me a picture that was in the salon. She cut it that way. My friend went to trim his beard a little, but he came back in a hurry. Because there's no way to tell me how to trim it.

The Waiting Place

It was about ten past eleven at that time. One of us was very heavy. We couldn't even stand there with our bags. We went to a nearby supermarket and got something to drink. But we still had time. We went to a suspicious place with a massage board and asked if we could get a massage. Oh. There was no massage there. But they would give us accommodation. They asked for a room for four hours and asked us to pay one hundred and fifty thousand Lao kip. It's okay. We went inside. The rooms were comfortable with hot water and AC. We slept for a while and I went to buy a dress.

We didn't change clothes in two or three days. Since there is not a big difference in the sizes of clothes in those countries, I didn't take many clothes. So since I ran out of clothes to wash, I went out to buy some clothes.

Another friend also joined us. After taking about two clothes, the three of us talked and went for a massage. That massage parlor is in the same Ariel where the nightlife activity was the day before. That girl had seen me before, I wonder.

The massage

The Lao massage is a little harder than the Thai one. In Lao, they hold some of the hard cloths very tightly. So first they put me on a bed and massaged me. Then they put me on a mattress and massaged me. They asked me to sit on the floor and massaged me with their legs. There were a lot of bruises. Meanwhile, the three women who were giving the massage were laughing and saying things in their own language. Are they laughing at us or at some other shit, oh my god. #amila2r

 

How to find things

25

So after walking for about half an hour, here are the things. There is a big club nearby. As soon as you pass the club, in the shops that are well lit with lights like the Kataragama flower shop, women wearing makeup are sitting on the benches, on the chairs. In some places, a set is placed on the side of the shop and women are sitting on that set. The first place I met on the street was a place where a few older women, around 40 years old, were staying. But as I walked forward, I saw people of all ages, younger and more mature, sitting there. Some of those women were wearing school uniforms. Others were wearing denim. Others were wearing cropped shorts. If you count all the women, there were about 70-80 of them available in the shops that day.

However, about 80% of those women were beautiful. And young. So I went to them, wondering if such things could happen in this world, and asked them how much there were, from three to two and a half lakhs. When I called them on the phone, they gave me the amount. But even some of the women with very pretty faces couldn't even read numbers and letters to calculate that amount. They found a lakh note and said that they would take three of it.

The planet doesn't rotate well everywhere. At one place, they got angry for a while, but all three of the girls there said something to the head there that they couldn't handle Indians. The work wasn't done there. Even though we thought we were beautiful, when we went there, we became ugly Indians.

Chinese people get off in big vehicles outside these places. The Chinese get off and put the beautiful women they like in big vehicles. But they take good care of the places they go. While we were there, I heard a girl crying and screaming in a room. We didn't know what was going on, so we didn't go to bother her. Also, there are quite a few groups of boys around that place. If the Chinese come and take these girls away by force, if there is no police or law and order, I thought that if something bad happens, those boys will come down and fix the problem.

This is the place I came from the station earlier. That's the best place in that area. I think there were about 15-20 young girls there. They said they were worth three and a half lakhs. If you get the service directly from these places, there are small partitions behind the shop, like in massage centers here. There is a mattress on the floor in those partitions. There are common places to wash clothes. You have to go to those places, wash clothes, and then sit in that dark room to do your work.

Otherwise, if you go to a hotel for the night, you will have to pay a separate rate. When I asked the price at one place, the girl raised two fingers. It was two hundred thousand rupees. Two thousand two hundred in Sri Lankan money. A thin and pretty girl of about 20 years old. I stopped there again thinking what else could be better. I thought I would not be able to get to such a street until the end of this society, so I did that and after about half an hour I paid money at another place.

The service at both those places was better than I thought. The situation in most places in Sri Lanka where we wake up and do our work ourselves is good. It is commendable. Those people have done a great job in raising attitudes, supporting the work, showing skills, etc.

Why are there no photos?

To put it simply, there is something bad going on in those places. The serious sin is that those old women are not really sure if they are over eighteen or not. You can check by looking at their teeth to see if they are under eighteen. But when you buy someone there, open your mouth.. Oh, this little white piece is also a tooth, etc., there is no opportunity to look at their teeth. So, because I could get into trouble later by sneaking behind my phone as visual evidence, I didn't take photos or videos. Also, it is a stressful situation. It is not a place to worship. So I was a bit afraid to take photos. Also, the videos I watched on YouTube of that place at one time were later reported and removed from YouTube.

When I came back,

Another Indian guy came up to me while I was in that area. He went straight to the Nammao Guest House where we had gone before to get the service. The guy there was quite clear about the service. When we were talking and driving around that side, the Chinese tried to put us in a taxi and send us back, saying we were on the wrong road. They tried to get us out of their way, thinking that we were coming to the forest. We talked and took a taxi to the city. It was about 12 at night. By that time, there were 4-5 girls on bikes in the main tourist area of ​​the city. Of course, it's not as beautiful as there.

 

How to find the place

24

You can't easily find any information on Google or Ai that says that these deer are providing cheap sex services in Muang Xai. The information about this is only from the information that is being talked about among the Chinese, and that too behind Chinese private groups. The Chinese built a railway to Laos. There are few women in China. That is why the Chinese are in the new way. That case and the poverty of Laos matched, and the business of providing cheap sex services to Chinese tourists went up. The long story there is that the Chinese came to Laos for a while and kidnapped Lao women and forced them to marry, which was a big problem for both countries. After that, it became an underworld business and became a big disaster, and after China and Laos took strict checks and measures to stop it. But even though the documents have been increased and the work has been made a little more serious, there is news that brides are being brought from Laos to China.

The other thing is that the people in Laos are younger than in Thailand, China, and Vietnam. The women are also younger. Even if you go to a restaurant, you will find young-looking young women working as waiters and cooks in Laos. That is not the case in Thailand. In Thai massage parlors, the women are old women like aunts. Even if you look at the statistics, the average age of the population is 39 in Thailand, 40 in China, and 24 in Laos. So, this data shows that the young population in Laos is increasing everywhere. That may be one reason why the Chinese come to Laos to find marriage and sex services.

Although we didn't see it directly, the rumors say that there were places in the town that provided Sex services near every station on the Lao-Chinese railway that were very cheap. I also searched through various Chinese sites and found a place in Muan Xai. I wanted to go there

Going to a strange place

I got off at Muan Xai Railway station and showed the place I found through the group to the taxi drivers outside the station. They all laughed. Seeing that place. Not only that, they also laughed at me. I was also confused. But then, the only sign I showed on my phone was Nammao Guest House. So, I went to them, thinking it was a place to stay. They asked for 100,000 Lao kip for the wheel. 100,000 is a lot. But I went. When we went there, the visitors came and said that it was a place where girls were hanging around a bit dirty, a place like a shop with no business. Our friends were scared. They said that we can't stay here. "Where are you going, this is not the town, this is another garbage place. Let's go there," they said, looking at Google Maps. Since I was also tired, we decided to go there. From there, we took another three-wheeler to the town.

New place

There is a place in the town. We had stayed in Laos so far for about 5-4 lakhs. Here, a hot tub, a big room with air conditioning and all the amenities cost 2 lakhs per night. It was very cheap. About 2200 in Sri Lankan money. That evening, it started raining badly. It rained so much that we couldn't go to a shop to eat. But just as it was raining, we went to a nearby shop and ate. The food was also cheap, and the price was set at Muang Xai. The three of us spent about 1.5 million kip for each meal. There were other places to visit in the city, such as a night market, a temple, etc. But we couldn't visit them because of the rain and the fear of our friends. One friend went to visit a nearby night market.

How we went back at night

I remembered the information that those sex shops only provide services at night and that they open at night. (I thought that visiting those places during the day only increased the fear of my friends.) I went there because I wanted to see what was going on there, not just for sex. It was three kilometers from the town. But the taxi drivers overcharged and asked for 1 million kip. So I started walking. Then the rain started to fall. Our virtuous friends stopped, saying that there was a massage nearby and there was no point in going there. The previous day, I had gone to a massage in Happy Ending and had just crushed my bones, so I thought I would never go back to a massage. I went to find those old details. We will see that detail in the next section.
