Louang Phabang Pictures

Louang Phabang. In the middle of nowhere isn't it? This beautiful view over the Nam Khan river fascinated us - fluffy clouds would roll by between the mountains making it quite ominous at times. And the little island village in the background with wooden huts is incredible!
It rained quite a bit here as usual. The small streets were all like this - lined with jungle plants.








The Mekong river just before sunset from a lovely hill in the middle of Louang Phabang. The hill was capped with a golden Chedi of course, and had an impressive collection of Wats and Golden Buddhas.
