Huay Xai

Came here from Thailand, en route to Pak Beng / Luang Prabang. But this place is the meeting point for the Gibbon Experience which was the most awesome, amazing thing I did whilst in SE Asia last year. You go way out into the jungle, far from anything and camp for 2 or 3 nights in treehouses which are by far the most whacked out awesome ones I’ve seen. They are way up the top of tall trees above the canopy of the rest of the forest, and the only way to get to them is via zip line / flying fox. Was simply awesome.

Huay Xay is a commercial center at the crossroads of China, Thailand, and Laos. It is just a short and easy river crossing between the two last countries.

IT’s amazing to just get immerse in the local culture and be one with the people. Laos is the most laid back country that I’ve ever been. This is truly the land of smiles.
