The "North Palace"

I loved Laos, George. In 2000 we travelled from Luang Prabang to a town much further north whose name I forget, then travelled on the back of a truck to the Southern Chinese border. We trudged through 500m of thick mud and jungle on the Lao side to be greeted by incredulous Chinese border guards in a tiled, paved and immaculate small town border post, also in the middle of nowhere. They were flummoxed by no exit stamp from Australia on the passport, and kept insisting I must be Russian. After two hours and calls by them to Beijing, they let us through, where we caught a little local bus the 50 km to our next port of call.
Laos was very recently open to tourists, then, and lacking electricity and facilities anywhere outside Vientiane or Luang Prabang!
I see it has changed!
Big hugs...Dxxxx

A super series from this place George. Like a land that time forgot.

Great place and POV, I love the first PiP!

Hi George. More great images of a country almost unknown to us here in Britain. I believe there are many such ruins in that part of the world of which have not been touched by tourism or taken apart to put in museums. Looks like you had a great trip.

Cheers and keep safe. Herb

beautiful captures!

So lovely. Great pictures to show this beautiful, mysterious place. Wonderful details everywhere. Your images certainly make me want to visit!! Gorgeous textures and contrasts between rich and lustrous greens and the dark stone. Love it!

Most certainly worth a visit if you are in this area with musch time to spent. We have visited this impressive site in the middle of nowhere. Thanks for sharing George.

Fabulous! Considerung how old they are they are in quite a good state!

Hi George

A very nice picture, which looks like something you would stumble across, forgotten in the jungle... I like it!

Best Wishes, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!
