When going out for a night on the town in Laos, on the menu for the typical Australian tourist will be magic mushrooms, cannabis and even opium.
The pubs literally have menus listing all those drugs — and even "disco buckets" containing some of each.
When 24-year-old Nathan, from Newcastle, went to Laos for a few days during a tour of South-East Asia last November he thought things would be pretty loose.
But even he was shocked at the reality of the place.
"Stuff gets out of control," he told ninemsn. "It gets crazy."
Nathan took a picture of the drugs menu at the first nightspot he visited, a pub on the riverside in Vang Vieng.
