The spectacular water views of the two rivers, Nam Khan and Mekong Rivers, snake their way through and around the area provide a wonderful back drop any time of the day.

Apparently, the vendors are still setting up around 9am, so we roamed around town and returned about 10:00 to check it out. Continue reading
