Why This Website Exists?

Vang Vieng’s adventure industry depends heavily on paramotoring, yet accident information is rarely shared with the public. When incidents are hidden to protect tourism profits, both visitors and local workers are left in the dark.
This website documents real paramotor accidents and safety issues in Vang Vieng from 2023 onward. Our goal is not to shame individuals, but to break the silence around dangerous practices so travelers can make informed decisions before they fly.

Courage to Tell the Truth

In this environment, speaking honestly about safety problems can lead to pressure or even punishment. Even simple criticism, like showing a damaged road, has led to arrest. This culture makes open safety reporting almost impossible.
That is why this project is fully anonymous. We focus on facts, patterns, and lessons — not on names or politics.
