They are said to have drunk free “Tiger vodka” in the hostel – shortly afterwards six people were dead. After the methanol scandal, the police in Laos have now arrested several suspects.
The Nana Backpacker Hostel in Vang Vieng is still receiving a lot of praise in online reviews: “The hostel leaves nothing to be desired,” writes one person. And: “Free alcohol every evening.” Others commented with the corresponding opening times of the bar.
