Just been researching places in se asia for my next trip and uhh why is this random village 4 hours out of Vientiane a huge party destination?
It seems quite...random
Is this a rave or something like that ? Or just a bunched of drunked britain people ?

Chance to start of with then it just got the reputation and that was enough to grow it. It's a beautiful location, nice rockclimbing, cool river, all that shit which was enough to attrct people in the beginning. Then a couple of bars appeared on the islands, someone must've realised you could have a nice day floating from one bar to the other. The larger bars started adding swings, slides and diving boards then it's rep just exploded.
I enjoyed it on my gap year, there's even some nice rocklcimbing and hiking if you don't want to spend EVERY second wasted+high.
The gov shut it down though, don't know if that lasted but all the bars got ripped down and the gov were pretty heavy handed keeping things quiet over the ASEAN summit IIRC. Last I heard, it wasn't a patch on how it used to be #RealTraveller
