Sao Lao

After spending a little over an hour at a temple on a hill, we were all rounded up into the pickup truck and headed toward Wat Phu. We wanted to get there before sunset and were pressing for time. First we had to take a buk and cross a river. My cousin Bay bought me a bowl of Khao Phoon at the buk. She said the location is famous for delicious Khao Phoon so I gave it a try.

I was not confident about using the buk. But I have never heard of a buk sinking before so there was nothing to be concern about. The beautiful view of the river and its surrounding was worth the trip.

Our buk driver is only a teenager.

The other side of the river was just a few minutes away.
