The way across the Nam Khan River is a bamboo bridge. There are boats that get you across and there is a bridge and roadway, but what is the fun in that?
A family built this bridge which is only up for 6 months. During the rainy season the river is too high so it is taken down. The family charges 5000 kip or 58 cents to go across. This is for their time and money in maintaining the bridge. I wandered looking for more sights and a different place to eat.
I should have taken more pictures. Much less crowded, not that Luang Prabang is by any means to begin with.
Not rickety at all. Very sturdy and wide enough for side by side people.
In case you are wondering about the many updates, this hotel Ban Jeck has amazing wifi and I need to give myself out of the sun for brief respites and to rehydrate.
