Our last day in Pakbeng before heading to Luang Prabang. We really enjoyed this little town. Now back on the boat ! You can see that a lot of the shoreline is quite steep so usually lots of stairs to get to the top. The third photo down shows a man with his elephant. The elephant had heavy chains on him and I felt just sick seeing that. He was using him for heavy labour.

Lots of stairs !
As we continued down the Mekong River, we stopped at the Pak Ou Caves. Quite impressive how these places got built. This is a religious site and consists of two caves situated upstream from the Mekong, about 20 miles from Luang Prabang. You can access them by road but it’s a very rugged 6-7 miles, boat is preferred and the better option.
We arrived at Luang Prabang, Laos and headed to our hotel. We are here for a couple of days and we really enjoyed and we did some very interesting things which I’ll tell you about next time !
