Jul 21, 2024 10:00 PM A Bangkok Trip in Video Clips
A collection of fairly short video clips (6 to about 25 seconds or so in duration) of a bit over six days spent in Bangkok bracketing 13 days in northern Laos, appearing in sequential order. The first clips are from my roughly 1-1/2 day layover in Bangkok’s Don Mueang neighborhood, followed by 5 days and change mainly in Bangkok’s Ratchathewi neighborhood, with visits to the Ladmayom floating marker, Khlong Toei wet market, Nana Plaza (no cameras allowed), Soi Cowboy (cameras allowed outside only), and assorted wanderings around the city on and off the well-beaten tourist track to take in and capture a bit on the city’s local color. Unfortunately, the last clip of the taxi drop off at Survanabhumi International for the 20-hour flight back to LAX caught the metallic scuffling of my iPhone lanyard due to taxi vibrations. Enjoy!

Video clips and photos of the three main tiers and cascades of Kuang Si Waterfall, a popular tourist attraction roughly 30 km due southwest of Luang Prabang, Laos. The falls are fed by the Nam Xi (Nam Si) River, with the tallest cascade being 60 m, and the azure and turquoise hues of the pools beneath the picturesque cascades owing to the calcium carbonate particles suspended in the water.

Jul 07, 2024 10:00 PM Nam Thouam General Market, Northern Laos
A visit to the general market in Nam Thouam, northern Laos. Located on Road #13 northeast of Luang Prabang, the visit was a stop on the drive from Nong Khiaw to Luang Prabang following a two-day boat trip down the Nam Ou River from Muang Khua to Nong Khiaw that included an overnight stay in the village of Muang Ngoi. This is one of the two videos shot during my 13 days in Laos where I briefly appeared in front of the camera (thanks to guide) while sampling some local tobacco for sale in the market, with my guide using a small square of cut scratch paper to roll me a short cigarette.

Jul 07, 2024 10:00 PM The Bountai Market - Phongsali Province, Northern Laos
A visit to the Bountai general market, located on Road #1B in northern Laos’ Phongsali province. The market was typical of others I had visited in Laos, but was memorable in that it was where I first got to sample the region’s famous green lao-lao sticky rice whiskey (owing to green leaves added to the fermenting sticky rice, which changes only the color and has no effect on taste or potency), with my guide borrowing my phone to give me a bit of rare time in front of the camera as I sipped my inaugural shot. The market also had some interesting local ‘animal protein’ offerings.
