Thanks for the good post and the great photos.

Years ago, we took the 1-day boat (not the speed boat) to Luang Prabang, and your post brings back a few memories of the trip. It was about 8 hours of nothing but river, river, river, but it was superbly pleasant and even interesting.

And then landing on the river's edge in Luang Prabang was such a thrill. LP turned out to be great town, and I still remember it fondly.
