Pak Ou Grottoes Kids , Mekong River, Laos
About two hours north of Luang Prabang by covered longtail boat on the Mekong River, Pak Ou Grottoes is a series of sacred Buddhist caves filled with Buddhas and statues at the confluence of the Nam Ou River. A short climb from the river brings you to various levels of caves, at one of which where these young girls were selling mangos. The fruit were small and sour, but the girls were sweet and friendly so made the sale. Between here and Luang Prabang is another fine stop on the other side of the Mekong along the way. Ban Sang Hae is a small village dedicated to the production of a local rice whiskey called lao lao. This local specialty firewater is fairly potent stuff, and comes in a variety of handsome bottles. Along the river tubing trip in Vangvieng, competing riverside bars will offer free shots of this fine stuff in trying to attract floaters to their establishment to swing or zip line into the river between Beer Laos. Definitely something to bring home, of course for the handsome local packaging.
