Luang Prabang By Slow Boat

[Greenside]

With dams planned for Pak Beng & Pak Ou, this fantastic Mekong boat trip will eventually disappear & just be a cruise on a lake. The waters from the dam at Pak Beng will back up 90 kms to near Pak Ing, just south of Chiang Khong.

One of the most depressing things I've heard in a long time. Dozens, maybe hundreds, of villages will end up being replaced by concrete boxes

wherever the locals are displaced to. Still, at least they'll have electric lighting.

When is this travesty planned to take place?

The plan for the Don Sahong dam by the Khone Phapheng Falls is horrific!

So sail the Mekong while you can!
