5 days agoWe loved this so much.
5 days agoComplete agreement with you on your immigrants/expats observation.
6 days agoComing to the end of the rainy season so I'm guessing it will get even higher as the water comes down from further inland.
1 week agoWe were here briefly in 2016. It seems a more prosperous now. Lots of motor car sales outlets and modern supermarkets. The old French buildings around the church in the central area are thankfully still there.
1 week agoWe haven't been to Savannakhet since 2008 or 2009, but we really loved it then. Very beautiful old colonial buildings that gave the town some real Luang Prabang-like potential.
1 week agoWow, the Mekong is still really high.
1 week agoI feel like I've been on this bus.
1 week agoFive minutes into the video Leigh said : "I thought that they had 16 days of rain". And then we got to the 17th minute!
1 week agoThanks Bill. I know zero about butterflies but the birding has been thin in Vietnam and I had to try and photograph something.
1 week agoGreat photo! Some species of white, but they are awfully hard to nail down the species.

This was such a cool place.
1 week agoWhile we loved our time in Vietnam 7 years ago, the rain! If you are stuck inside and want to kill some time, here is the video of our Vietnam trip including the 16 straight days of rain in central Vietnam.

I loved Hue too, but I had a weird hand injury/infection starting up and was pretty worried about it. We eventually went to a hospital in Danang and got it lanced, so good times.
Thanks Bill. Taken with my mobile phone!
