Khmu Village on the Road to Kuang Si Waterfalls, Luang Prabang Laos

An ethnic minority Khmu village near the town of Napho, on Road #1 that leads from Luang Prabang to Kuang Si Waterfalls. My guide had our drive stop at the village en route to Kuang Si Waterfalls so that we could do a walking tour through it, though did not mention the name of the village. This would be the first of several ethnic villages that I would visit during my 13 days in Laos, with the majority of the ethnic villages being in the far northern province of Phongsali. I did not have cellphone signal and could not map the exact location of the village, but from my photos and video clips of the village and surrounding rice paddy terraces later passed beyond the village, and by review of a satellite map of Road #1 from Luang Prabang to Kuang Si, the approximate location of the village is 19°48'36.0"N 102°00'21.9"E. My guide taught me the Khmu word for 'Hello' ('Suht-mai-luht'), which I used when interacting with the village kids and a Khmu granny with her 2 year-old grandson encountered when we fist entered the village. The village also contained some ethnic White Hmong and Lao Lum ('Lowland Lao') residents, with the Hmong language heard spoken among some girls (one holding a baby) in a clip near the end that's used as the video thumbnail image.
