Ban Koy, Laos

We stayed in a resort not far from Vientienne in Laos. It was an eye-openner, I can tell you. Read the article, but be prepared to be amazed!

Ban Koy, Laos

Yesterday, I told you about my opinion of Laos and how we got to the hotel we were going to stay at on my visa run to Laos. As I said, we normally stay in the capital, but this time we didn’t need to travel that far, so I picked a hotel at random off Google Earth. It was at Ban Koy, not far from the Thai -Laos Friendship Bridge in the North.

We presented ourselves at reception and the man in charge had obviously never seen an Agoda Internet receipt before. He held it upside down for a few seconds before realising his mistake, then he smiled, called someone and told us to follow the guy by pointing at him as he walked away.

Our chalet, it was a resort, not a hotel, despite its catch-all name of ‘Resort-Hotel’, but that was not a problem. There was a disco, two restaurants, a Karaoke bar a pool, which I never found, and something else, which we never identified.

Anyway, our chalet was large enough and clean, so what more can you want?

It appeared that we were the only guests, as we saw no-one else all day long. At nine o’clock, my wife wanted to go to bed, so I took a beer home and sat outside our chalet alone writing.

At ten o’clock, about thirty beautiful girls in short skirts came out of a door opposite me; they were between 18 and 22 years of age and in a great mood. I didn’t see where they went, but it was on the complex. An hour later, there were more women and about a hundred men milling about metres from me and music started up.

It was loud.

Lights went on and off in the chalets that had been empty all day, and sometimes, four or five girls followed a man inside. However, I don’t think that they were single parents on holiday with their daughters daughters.

We were staying at a short-term sex holiday resort, which was straight out of Benny Hill or the Carry On films!

The following morning, when we went for breakfast at eight thirty, the place was deserted again.

I’d go back, but I don’t think the missus would.

Owen Jones, Amazon Best-Selling Author from Barry, Wales, has lived in several countries and travelled in many more. While studying Russian in the USSR in the '70's, he hobnobbed with spies on a regular basis; in Suriname, he got caught up in the 1982 coup; and while a company director, he joined the crew of four as the galley slave to sail from Barry to Gibraltar a home-made concrete yacht, which was almost rammed by a Russian oil tanker and an American aircraft carrier.
“I am a Celt, and we are romantic”, he said when asked about his writing style, “and I firmly believe in reincarnation, Karma and Fate, so, sayings like 'Do unto another...', and 'What goes round comes around' are central to my life and reflected in my work. I write about what I see, or think I see, or dream... and, in the end it is all the same really”. He speaks seven languages and is learning Thai, since he lives in Thailand with his Thai wife of fifteen years.
His first novel, Daddy's Hobby is from the seven-part series 'Behind The Smile: The Story of Lek, a Bar Girl in Pattaya', but his largest collection is 'The Megan Series', twenty-three novelettes on the psychic development of a teenage girl, the subtitle of which, 'A Spirit Guide, A Ghost Tiger and One Scary Mother!' sums them up nicely. He has written fifty novels and novelettes, including: Dead Centre; Andropov's Cuckoo; Fate Twister; The Disallowed (a philosophical comedy); Tiger Lily of Bangkok; and A Night in Annwn (Annwn being the ancient Welsh word for Heaven). Many have been translated into foreign languages and narrated into audio books.
Owen Jones writes stories set in Wales, Spain and Thailand, where he now lives. He is a life-long Spiritualist, and this belief is interwoven, in a very realistic way, into many of his books and storylines. If you like a touch of the 'supernatural', try his books
He sums his life up thus: “Born in the Land of Song, Living in the Land of Smiles”.
