I've included three pictures of the village that we stayed in.
The name of the village is BAN NAM GOY and is located in LUANG NAM THA province, Northern Laos.
The first picture is just looking in the direction of the village.
All told, there are about 50 huts in this village.
The second picture is of the hut that I stayed in.
It was comfortable enough, I guess.
We were provided with a mosquito net, though we didn't see any at all since the dry season was approaching.
The doors are left open until you go to bed, meaning that anyone and ANYTHING can enter whenver they
choose. Pigs, chickens, dogs, and spitting women all came and went throughout the day.
The final picture is of a classroom in a neighbouring village. This village is about an hour away (on foot, of
course) and is a bit wealthier than the one we stayed in.
The village where we were is now hoping to construct a similar classroon.

Really?! Farm animals and spitting(?) women came by at your hut? Hard to imagine...but one thing that I'm sure of is that I would never be able to sleep there! Sorry that I have to ask this, but why did you choose to go to Laos?

I'm in Tokyo now. I may go to three places in a year: Canada, Thailand, and some other place. I also like to travel around Japan once a year.

I was in Laos mostly for leisure, but we were checking some details for the Canadian government.

Why Laos? It's a question I've been asked a million times, so no problem. Well, between my friend and I, we have been to most countries in SE Asia, which is where we wanted to go. So we wanted to go to a new place that was warm. The lack of development in Laos also was appealing.

I think that is a big difference in traveling patterns between Japanese people and Westerners. Most of us like going to places where we can shop and dine, not so much for seeing the other parts of the world, which in turn is appealing to Westerners. I might be overgeneralizing, but I think it holds some truth.

I think you're right. Having said that, I did see several young Japanese, mostly couples, in Laos.
