YOUR EXPERIENCE
• A leisurely two-hour boat journey along the Mekong to the eerie ‘Cave of a
thousand Buddhas’ at Pak Ou (the mouth of the Ou River).
• The mysterious Pak Ou Caves - where local people add annually to a
repository of Buddha statues in a tradition which has lasted for centuries.
• A riverside village, where you will learn about local village customs and life,
and be free to sample the infamous local ‘lao lao’ rice wine.
• Opportunities for fantastic photos, taken from the comfort of a private
slow-boat, which can slow-down or speed-up as you wish.
• Mekong riverside scenery: villages, local fishermen, trade vessels, and
dramatic, precipitous mountain scenery.
