Climbing in Laos: Partners, Logistics, etc?

I will be in Laos at the end of February through mid-April. I'll be staying in the capital, Vientiane, as my home base, but I plan to spend as much time as I can getting out to Vang Vieng and Thakhek (or anywhere, really!) to climb.

I was wondering if anyone had any useful beta for me anywhere on the spectrum for this trip? I won't be traveling with a climbing partner, but I was hoping that this time of year I could find people in the popular climbing areas to share a rope with.

How are the bus rides between the capital and the popular climbing destinations? I know they are a few hrs long, but I plan to spend a couple days a week out climbing, then back in the city for the rest of the week.

Anyway, if anyone has useful beta to share, I would love to hear!!
