[S1E08] DON'T SKIP LAOS (1): Don Det (4000 islands) and Pakse (loop)

Entering Laos, kind of unprepared which turned out to be a great experience! We start in the South of Laos: At the 4000 islands, the go-to location is Don Det and Don Khon. Thereafter we move further up north to Pakse to do the loop their.
