"WAY" TO STAY WARM...

When it's freezing cold, even the sandy laterite road will do to set up a wood fire to keep warm. This can only happen in Muang Ngoi, scenic village, north of Luang Prabang, across Ou River (Nong Khiaw). There are no cars in this village because there are no roads that go there.And that makes the road safe enough "for yarning stories" in this remote village which seems to survive from the new found tourism!
