Laos, our tour begins after a short flight from Vientiane to Luang Prabang, Laos's ancient royal capital filled with gilded temples surrounded by mountains and rivers. After a one-hour boat ride up the Mekong River we stop for a visit to the Pak Ou Caves where we saw thousands of Buddha statues. After a lunch we visited a village that has houses raised on stilts topped with steep thatched roofs. This village has no electricity and the villagers spend their days foraging for game, tree bark and fish. While we visited the village we also saw that they were making various woven items to sell to us and to take to the market in Luang Prabang.

 village is also well known for its rice whiskey also called "rocket fuel" for its high alcohol potency. During the day, the village consists mainly of children, young mothers, and old people since the men are generally out foraging. 

Our hosts at the hotel treated us to a Basi ceremony which includes chanting wishes for a safe journey, food and drink and the tying of white strings around the wrists so that the 32 khwan (spirits) within each of us do not get lost while we are on our long journey. We were treated to a number of traditional Lao dances during our stay as well. 

In Vientiane we visited the Wat Si Saket, the oldest temple in Vientiane, and the Wat Pha Kaew, a former royal temple that once housed the Emerald Buddha which is now in Thailand. Our final visit in Laos was to the gold-spired Phat That Luang, which is a symbol of both Buddhism and Lao sovereignty. They were re-roofing the outer building surrounding the golden temple.

This video is 28 minutes long.  Rick Hunt filmed this March 2002. For more travel pictures go to my blog at [link removed by eBay]  and do a blog search for Laos.
