The Lao border
town is small and extremely unsignificant. The basic tourist infrastructure caters the tourists which usually stay only one night to catch the two day boat cruise to Luang Prabang the next day. Still it has some decent restaurants on the river which offers you some stunning views of the sunset. We purchased the tickets and boarded the long narrow boat which has a pretty big diesel engine. The water is pretty low during this season. Not only because of the
weather but also because the Chinese have built a damn upriver in Southwestern China to withhold water for their own consumption during the dry season. This has become a major problem for Cambodia and Laos. Thats why the tourist had to be separated to two boats to make sure we wont hit any hidden rocks.
