Dear Laos PR executive and/or luxury hotelier,
My wife and I are travelling around the world on a 500-day honeymoon. In each region we visit we pick one luxury boutique hotel to partner with exclusively for said region. We post two articles per resort on Honeymoons.com as well as numerous social media posts across Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Foursquare, Instagram, YouTube, etc..and most importantly each partner becomes the exclusive resort in their respective region on Honeymoons.com for an entire year (at no cost to any party, 100% barter) - If anyone in this group represents a luxury hotelier/resort in Laos, we would love to talk more. Please drop us a line (MikeAnne@HoneyTrek.com) and we can answer any questions and forward over our formal proposal for your review.
Sincerely,
Mike & Anne

All we need is a simple one-bedroom flat or bungalow for a couple, with no A/C if there is a ceiling fan. Any leads for finding appropriate, reasonably-priced accommodations would be appreciated.
Thanks!
