This is day 2 in Laos, find the previous episode: https://youtu.be/NFEYkJwGWww

In this episode Dwight boards the Luangsay Cruise down the Mekong River in Pak Beng. After a few hours on the boat it stops in a small village called "Bor" or "Baw" where you can buy silk scarves from the villages and see how they live. The village is made up of both Lao and Khmu people.

However, the area surrounding the village especially is quite impoverished and the many kids from the surrounding areas come to sell bracelets to tourists. The village also does not offer many other products besides the scarves.

You can try local Lao-lao or rice whiskey, but it was not for sale. In other places in Laos you will see the homemade spirit packaged with snakes and scorpions for tourists hoping to take the novelty items back to their country.

Stay tuned for more episodes!
