We were in Savanakhet (Laos) to get a new visa for Thailand so we had an early dinner (or very late lunch) along the mighty Mae Nam Khong (Mekong river) along the boulevard of the sleepy old colonial city of Savanakhet. With good friends, good food and Beer Lao. What else do you need? If you want to travel in Laos and need information or help about your transport, itinerary, tours or accommodation then send me a email at The Little Elephant Traveling in Thailand.
