Southern Swing - Day 1 start from Pakse






Day 24 - sleeping like a log in the overnite bus. Arrived Pakse early in the morning at 7am. The south was gonna be the real thing. Places we planed to go would pass through jungles, waterfalls, living in bungalows, cold showers in our big southern swing.

We hired a motobike at Pakse n started our 4 days southern swing journey. never been so excited before. driving into the middle of no where. Pakse was the only major trading town in the south. Once we drove off from Pakse, there would be only 2 of us n the bike. Most of the time it was jus a straight road, surrounded by rice fields, coffee plants, papaya trees and all kinds of fruit trees. From time to time there were locals driving pass by us. Everyone was so generously friendly saying "sabydee" (hi!) n waving.

Our south swing started from Pakse - Tad Lo (Tad means waterfall) - Thateng - Sekong - Attapeu - Katamtok - Sekong - Tad Niang - Tad Fane - Pakxong - Pakse

I have been traveling to many places, this one is by far one of the most interesting, emotional, awakening travel journey.
