We took a ride on these boats. They are used to police the Mekong river.

We had lunch with our host at a restaurant on the Mekong. This boat passed by. A little girl, was guiding the boat. Laos is on the other side.

This is a lady and her baby. Behind her is a fridge with drinks. Green tea is very popular here.

This is a bottle of liquor. In the bottle is a small cobra with a scorpion in its mouth. This is in a store in the duty free zone on the Laos side of the Thai/Laos border.

Walking down to a restaurant on the Mekong River. The food was spicy and tasty.

A small police boat escorts us as we cruise down the Mekong.
