Traveller’s Trail
            As soon as I learned that I would soon have another chance lo go to Laos, I was overjoyed. That’s because every time I cross the Mekong River to this neighbouring country, I feel just like I’m going to visit my own generous relatives and close friend. This time, I was invited  by National Tourism Authority of Lao P. D. R. To explore nature and the local people’s way of living around Phou Khao Khouay National Protect Area, which has abundant forests and wild life that remains almost untouched. It was a rather adventurous trip for amateur trekkers.
      We used the Thai-Laos friendshio Bridge to cross the Mekong River from Nong Khai to Vientiane, the capital city of Laos. After being greeted by some government offivers, we continued the trip to Phou Khao Khouay, led by the Deputy Minister of Tourism and the Director of the Vientiane Office of the National Tourism Authority of Lao P.D.R.

                 Not far from the city Vientiane, we reached the town of The Phrabat, where we had a brief stop at Wat Tha Phrabat, one of the most significant Buddhist sanctuaries of the town. This temple has a replica of the Lord Buddha’s footprint enshired in the main Ubosot with some water always spilling over the footprint.
