  1. Tubing in Vang Viang

    Tubing in Vang Viang is one of the most popular activities for backpackers in Laos. The rules are simple.

  2. Wat Phou Retrospective

    Upon reaching the upper level of Wat Phou, worshippers and tourists alike are rewarded with magnificent views of the lower pavilions.

  3. Spiritual Spectators

    The banks of the Mekong were lined with spectators watching the boat races. My favoriet were the monks that had come out to watch - brighly standing out in their orange.

  4. Open Sesame

    As I wandered around a Laos village outside of Luang Prabang in search of whiskey, I stumbled across this brother and sister. Better than whiskey any day!

  5. The Fast and Furious

  6. The Final Push

    The coach stands and cheers his team in the face of a photo finish!

  7. Team Transportation

    The team leaves after a long day of racing. They seemed quite happy riding in the 'team bus'...or maybe they were just happy to be done with a long day on the river!

  8. Unison

    Boat Racing practice on the Mekong Delta near Vientiane Laos. I was lucky enough to ride along in the coach's boat and photograph this action at dusk.

  10. Game Face

    This young rower on the Laos Boat Racing team was focused. I loved his cowboy hat and bandana, making him look like a Laoation Cowboy....and definitely a competitor.
