Nong Kiaw, Laos


We took supposedly the most scenic river cruise in Laos (as an alternative to the popular river trip from Luang Prabang to the border with Thailand - Huoay Xai) to a more isolated part of the country. FINALY the Laos I had imagined.



This was a toilet stop in the 7.5 hr journey.

Nong Kiaw is accessible more quickly (and cheaply) by road, but we wanted river time. We ate great Indian food here somehow, and I talked to a blind tourist for an hour over dinner before I realised he was blind at all. Incredible guy. He wasnt even wearing sunglasses.
