Laos People's Democratic Republic Day 2 (Panning for gold)
Apparently, the Mekong is filled to the brim with gold, especially during the dry season, where much of the banks are exposed. All along the river, families (mostly women and children) toiled away...panning for gold..our long boat decided to..stop by...they spend their whole day by the river, working, eating, bathing..
This is another (don't not recommended) option. It's fast but terribly dangerous and we heard of stories of accidents, deaths and broken bones!
