- A Hot Air Balloon ride has always been on our bucket list and when we found out that Laos was one of the cheapest countries to do it we figured now was the time!!
We booked with Above Laos and they were a great company. We felt safe at all times.
This was an experience we’ll never forget. If you’re going to Vang Vieng this experience is not go be missed!
Wow - this looked amazing! The views of the countryside and the surrounding landscape were stunning. I've never had the courage to go up in a balloon, but it looked very calm and serene. Funnily enough, the very first manned aerial flight in Britain happened in Edinburgh! It was by a man called James Tytler. He invented the 'Grand Edinburgh Fire Balloon' and actually showed it off in the dome of General Register House to sell tickets. He had a lot of unsuccessful attempts, but managed to fly to 350ft from Comely Bank Gardens to Restalrig about half a mile away. This was in 1784 and he's a bit of an unsung hero. He lined the balloon with paper and had a lit stove under it - so it's a bloomin miracle he survived! Thanks again for another amazing adventure and can't wait for the next one 🙂
Oh wow that’s really interesting David! We didn’t know that. It was a magical experience and not as scary as we thought it would be. The next video on the other hand…..that’s another story!! Stay tuned for that 🤣🤣🤣
Great video 👍🏻
Thank you 😍
Is true that there’s no safety brief and actually very crowded because so many people are crowded together?
No not at all. Safety is very high on their agenda. There was only a handful of people. Not crowded at all.
