Lets go tubing! A Basho Film

Here is the next Basho Film!

Lets go tubing!” This video high­lights the crazy day my friends and I had while tubing the legendary Mekong river in Vang Vieng, Laos, South East Asia in Novem­ber 2008.  Tubing is a mis­nomer really as the real activ­ity is pad­dling between bars, down­ing masses of drink to dance music all while watch­ing drunk girls wear­ing bikinis!

Which sounds much more fun and is!

  • M150 is the demon­s­pawn of Red­bull and god knows what — it is banned in most coun­tries for its effects being sim­ilar to speed.
  • The video cam­era was wrist moun­ted and the same one used in many of my other videos. It is water and mud proof! More details about the cam­era will be pos­ted on my web­site and I will leave a com­ment when this is ready!
  • We all had an crazy time and danced till it was dark before Tuk-Tuk’ing back to town for our tube deposits.
  • The tubes are large Lorry inner tubes and prone to being uncontrollable!
  • This video is ded­ic­ated to Colin who missed out on the fun due to his hav­ing been party­ing for 24 hour straight the day before. The quote at the front is his.
  • Every­one I spoke to was asked if they minded their foot­age being in the video so no com­plaints please!
  • Once the M150 wore off we all crashed in bed for the next day!
  • If you go to Laos, please pick up the “Stay another day” book that details how you can help this bril­liant but strug­gling nation.
  • Music by Kings of Leon.

Have fun watch­ing, it was one hell of a great day!
