Re: Lao Rupas
Thank you all. Hope these photos provided some inspiration. The people of Laos were very kind and warm to me. I can't say enough about their hospitality. The same could be said about the rural areas along the Mekong in Thailand. Laos is a very chill country that I would recommend visiting if one gets the chance. Considering all that the people of Laos have been through, I have the highest respect that they still welcome foreign visitors with an incredible degree of good will.

in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,
but great rivers flow silently.

Re: Lao Rupas
And if you sit in a taxi in Bangkok on your way to Laos, you may see these Rupas:
