Cambodia Laos and Thailand, From Luang Prabang To The Pak Ou Caves & Back, 14 February 2001

Set off quite early by lovely boat.

First stop – a Lao village Muang Kham – not so much on tourist trail.

Muang Kham scenes above and below

Second stop – Xang Hai Village where they brew Lau-Lao whiskey and rice wine (tried it) and [they also] sell “stuff” – Daisy bought some lovely pieces there.

Let me buy you some rice wine, Prasauth

Goods didn’t cost a bomb, but we saw UXO everywhere…

…and ubiquitous orange-robed monks

Then on to Pak Ou Caves and Pak Ou Village for noodle lunch and look at Village Temple.

Caves full of Buddhas

Ged: Why is Pak Ou Village known as Noodle Village? Prasauth & Daisy: Shut up and eat.

Then on to Ban Chan Village, where they make clay pots and bricks.

Ban Chan? Thank you, ma’m.

Back to hotel quite early. Supper in garden – tried beef sausage, pork and bamboo shoot, chicken and coconut a mixed vegetable with pork and sticky rice. Early night.
