Good summary.
Just like some clarifications.
1) I assume you meant get a motobike. And what is the going rate for a motobike rental for a day?
2) Going to the farm, will there be a problem with language as I only speak English and not Laos or Thai.
4) Sounds like it maybe dangerous taking a girl back to hotel overnight as scams may exist with girls and cops setting you up for extortion. But I'm guessing its still ok getting one from a farm rather than a FL from a disco or the street.
Also, do the tuk tuk drivers get a commission for bringing you to the farms and you take a girl out--meaning the farm automatically charges you more?
Thanks
