   | The road to Phongsali, Laos They say Phongsali is the most remote Place in Laos. I had to go see. Certainly getting there isn't easy. It's about 150 kms from the main paved road, of which over 100 kms is a fairly grueling rough dusty mountainous dirt road. I was told it take over 10 hours by public transport. I took us over 5 hours in a fairly new sorted out 4x4 truck.  The tea Plantations on the hillsides  Dodging the little piggies.  Arriving in Phongsali you are greeted with two big billboards. One for insurance and this one for beer.  Main street  View from hotel balcony  The man delivering wood  This was a pretty crappy hotel.  The local pharmacy  The boat trip out of Hat Sa (this is the other way to get to Phongsali)  village on the river The guest house in Boun Tai on the way out  We got a room and two meals for half a euro! (a little out of focus because it was getting dark) |
