Arrive in HoueiSay in Laos
where your guide will be waiting for you at the immigration point.
After completing border formalities, you board the LuangSay Cruise
(join boat) ready for the trip downriver. Serene, timeless Laos is one
of Asia''''''''s most unvisited, unchanged countries. This
once-powerful kingdom known as Lane Xang (Million Elephants) was
founded in the 14th century with the help of the Khmers, and it went on
to become one of the largest kingdoms in Southeast Asia until its
demise in the late 19th century. Bisected and bordered by the Mekong
River, omnipresent symbol of Indochina, Laos today is an amalgam of
cultural influences; Theravada Buddhism, animism, France, and the
socialist ideal. It is a peaceful place, and the legendary hospitality,
resilience and friendliness of the Lao people is much in evidence. Laos
is Old Asia preserved...
