Huay Xai to Pakbeng by freight boat, sunset
Scanned slide, image taken in early March 1996
Instead of, as I had expected it, to stop overnight in a village, the freight boat stopped at the shore in the middle of nowhere. No vllage, no shop, no food, no water...all had run out in the meantime. The local passengers knew it and had brought more food/water. Not me (something to learn). For the night, the Lao passengers and myself had to find a place somewhere on the boat on the floor. On the other hand, it was 100% authentic :-)
