A small selection of pictures from my 2-week backpacking trip to Laos in Dec 2005.
Laos (or Lao People's Democratic Republic, LPDR) has been a fellow member of ASEAN since 1997. And yet, it seems that this is a country not often visited by Singaporeans. Many preferring to go to Thailand or Vietnam. FYI, ASEAN members travel visa free!! :bsmilie:
During my backpacking trip to Cambodia in 2004, many of the fellow backpackers I met raved about the natural beauty and friendly people of Laos. Thus, making this a destination when the opportunity arised was just natural.
Lovely sunset over the Mekong.Took these 2 pictures while on a slow boat ride upriver from Luang Prabang (old capital city) to the bordertown of Huay Xai. A slow trip made slower by the wrong choice of travelling direction ;p but blessed with good company and wonderful sunsets!
Lovely sunset over the Mekong.
