The guest house as you see is a really good place to stay because it's so nice and handy and an attractive collection of homes with character. Your relations are very nice people too Rod
It is terrific to hear from you with your generous assessment of this story..I hope to keep them coming for our mutual interest and enjoyment of different special places. Regards Rod
Well Lao people love their fascinating country.....and the history of Lao is engrossing with the disperate kingdoms coming together.as one...... the French occupation in colonial times and the legacy of that period.....the major influence that Lao people,--- many of whom were taken more than a century ago, to form new communities in Isaan,-- have subsequently had on Thailand, it's closest linguistic cousin. There is much to know if you have the time thanks Rod
A great trip you have planned there; I am still hoping to get to Champasak as I know it is very significant historically and I want to what is all about and it's position ...all the best,,Rod
