Laos

UXO Museum, Luang Prabang. More bombs were dropped on Laos during the Vietnam War, than Germany and Japan combined during WWII.

The mighty Mekong

Night market, Luang Prabang

Typical night market fare, shrimp pad thai and beer Lao!

The giving of alms, Luang Prabang.

The beasts at Buffalo Dairy outside Luang Prabang are pampered. Best buffalo milk coconut flavored ice cream ever!

Elephant Conservation Center, Sayaboury Province works to preserve the elephant population in Laos. It even includes an elephant hospital.

I paraglide, but this was my first time in a paramoter! Vang Vieng

Buddha park, outside Vientiane.

Pha That Luang Temple, Vientiane.

Patuxai, Vientiane

Mekong sunsets, monks, buffalo washing and elephant conservation. I'd been waiting to go to Laos for decades. It didn't disappoint!
