Continue northwards

We left the island of Don Det yesterday, which is located in the far south of Laos, and moved about 150 km further north. Our location for the next three nights is Pakxe. It is a city on the Mekong River with a population of 78,000, but it is not a must-see destination. However, it is conveniently located for trips to the Bolaven Plateau and the Wat Phou Champasak temple.

Today, we visited the Bolaven Plateau as part of an organized day tour. It was essentially a waterfall tour and it was truly impressive.
