Traditional timber houses line the streets, old ladies sit nattering in their shadow and the Mekong river drift slowly by, Chiang Khan has an image of a northern riverside town, pretty and peaceful with photogenic views of the river, rice fields and the mountains of Laos beyond.
No doubt, this was one of our best places to visit and not only because of what has already been written but because of the people we met as well.
Some of the experiences we had been through include:
- Interacting with a monk in his residency in an isolated place.
- Getting lost with our motorcycle and getting unexpected help from a Kiwi man (Clynt), he was surprised to see us as much as we were to see him. His family came to visit his Thai wife family in this remote village. They were kind to us and we got an invitation to their family dinner.
- It was the first time for Efrat to work in the rice field among the locals.
- Communicating in Hebrew with a local farmer which worked in Israel for a 4-5 month, he was so funny and spoke Hebrew pretty well.
- Meeting Unchalee (a teacher) and her family, she invited us couple of times to have dinner with her while sharing nice and interesting conversations.
Have fun,
Efrat and Yoni.
