The temple is still in remarkable condition and is widely regarded as one of the most outstanding examples of Khmer architecture still in existence. The view from the sanctuary on the top across the Mekong plain, ringed by mountains is a truly breathtaking experience. As dusk falls, explore the riverside and discover the local Laotian way of life. Then a trip by road to the spectacular roaring falls of Phapeng for a picnic. A tasty dinner is later served on board.
Local children are always delighted to see the boat and wave endlessly.
Night is spent on board.
