This magnificant view was out of our hotel room on the riverside in Don Det, Laos
Kayaks and wooden longboats by the shore of the Nam Song river.
Just another waterfall, this one outside of Luang Prabang.
Watch out, slippery path?
The Laos countryside from the waterfall near Luang Prabang.
The more relaxed transport on the Mekong.
Now what's this little monkey up to? Pinched from the bosom of his mother before he could learn a thing or two about life, this little brat is about to learn the hard & painful way that the pile before is not his favourite snack...bananas! The sale of wildlife, such as monkeys, snakes and exotic birds is a common feature at the morning market in Pakse, Laos as elsewhere in the "Country of a million elephants".
A mother "sieving" through the hair of her son, possibly looking for lice! Well, when you don't have customers popping by at your stall, this is one way of occupying the time...I was on my way to Phu Asa in the Si Pien Valley, Laos when I stopped by to grab a bottle of mineral water at this stall at the entrance to the road leading to Attapeu, a nature wonderland.
Hawkers, almost all women and girls scramble on to the ferry that plies between Muang and Pha Pin (Champassak-Laos).Only then the vehicles drive in.These hawkers have free rides, and sell anything from lotus flowers, canned drinks to noodles, buns and vegetables.You will never go hungry, nor will the half hour ferry ride bore you seeing these hawkers pleading with you to try their products.
The kitchen of the headmans (Mr Bounsi) house in Ban Namat Mai, an Akha village about 5 hours walk in the hills above Luang Namtha town. For more, see http://kees.zenfolio.com/

The mountains make for a stunning backdrop for kayaking or tubing down the Nam Xong.
LP describes these standing stones as the stone henge of asia. I am about 95% certain that the author has never been to see them.
This is site one of the three main Plain of Jars sites near Phonsavan
These are the waterfalls outside of Luang Prabang.
This photo was taken from the banks of the Mekong in Vientiane. An excellent place to have a beer to finish the day.
Happy children in Laos.
