Luang Prabang: well you might be in for a do it yourself job!
I found very little action in LP, however there is some at a mainly Laotion disco (I think the only one in town, so ask a tuk-tuk driver to bring you there). In general there are only a few girls (on teh dance floor, you have to find out who is a hooker and who is not).
After the disco closes they sometimes try a last shot with trying to pick up a "farang" (=westerner) at a bar X. Forgot the name, will look-up and post later.
Vientiane is definitely the better place for sex.
Vang Vien,
There are several hostess bars around on the outskirts of town but they aren't super accomodating for foreigners. But I think if you are gentlemanly they'll service you for about 25$. One guy I met was in there but then he started being kind of obnoxious and they cancled his negotiations.
About 20 minutes drive towards Vientiane there are a couple of brothels in a small little town. The locals call the little strip Saigon, so perhaps they are Vietnamese girls. I didn't go there but a local guy I was hitching a ride with pointed it out.
They are right along the road and late in the afternoon you can see the women out front brushing their wet hair. You can actually see them all over Laos and they are marked with the yellow Beer Laos flags all across the front of the shop and the women loitering out front to track down truckers and such.
Let me know if you need more detail or post if you have an experience there. I did not.
It is a good place for action, cheap and nice hotels 5$, and pay 20$ for all nite action
Where is Vang Vien/Vangviang in Laos I looked on lonely planet and it not listed on their map. But it does say there is trouble on the road between Vangviang and the capital.
Vang Vieng is about a two to three hour drive (about 150KM) North from Vientiane.
It is nice place for a good rest. No problem on the road. There is a bar (?) near the bus stop. You can find actions there.
[QUOTE=fslag338]Try a last shot with trying to pick up a "farang" (=westerner) at a bar X. Forgot the name, will look-up and post later.[/QUOTE]This is most likely Hive Bar. Best place to pick up Farang girls in town.
I am off to Luang Prabang for a couple of weeks. Any new information, do's and don't or even contact names / numbers?
Either way, I'll update here when I get back with any new information.
Like the messager below, I'm off soon to Luang Prabang and would love to get some more recent information about the place -- where and how to monger, and if it's indeed possible to. Any input very much appreciated.

Last time I was in Laos (04)there was some action in Vientiane but it was not "Paradise". I was glad to get back to LOS.
I will probably go to Cambodia first so a short vacation would not be bad for my energy levels before back to those lovely fleshpits in LOS. ;-)
I found a cracking little club close to the Khammouane Hotel where I was staying. Great girls and great atmosphere.
Luang Prabang still seems to be a no-go area for this activity. There are a couple of bars on Phousi Rd however they had western backpackers only. The only place I did not check out was a night club about 3-4km from the centre of town. the Daofa Night Club is across the road from the south bus station and new sports stadium according to my map. No idea if there is anything there or not.
[QUOTE=Mianbao]Luang Prabang still seems to be a no-go[/QUOTE]Thanks for the info. Since you were there, did you find something anywhere else in Laos?
No but in Vientiane something found me. That place is like shooting fish in a barrell. Locations have been posted in the Vientiane thread already.
