SPL LAOS DEATHS 01.JPG
A British lawyer is fighting for her life in a critical condition in hospital and an Australian 19-year-old has become the fourth person to die amid a mass poisoning event in Laos last week.
At least four people have now died in total with 11 more still in hospital after they were allegedly served drinks laced with methanol at a bar in Vang Vieng, a popular backpacking destination.

Riverside bars in Vang Vieng, Laos.
The main activity in Vang Vieng is tubing. This involves renting a large inner tube from locals, travelling 4km up the Nam Song river by vehicle, and then 'tubing' back down river.
Dozens of bars line the river banks with booming music and lots of hedonistic backpackers getting drunk and/or high..Many rope swings, zip lines, and large decks have been built for socialising and splashing into the river.
