Our tuk tuk will pick you up from your hotel and transfer to the boat where we will send you off downstream to Pha Tad Ke botanical garden. On arrival garden staff will meet you there and give you an introduction, so you can easily self-guide yourself around the garden. For those wishing to explore there is a 60minute walk to the cave, with views over the gardens. Areas are well sign posted and the ethno-botanic garden has plants pertaining to Lao life, including those used for medicines, festivals, food preparation and natural dyes. The café offers a tasting of herbal teas, and you can enjoy some time relaxing there overlooking the lily pond.
Back to the boat in your own time, enjoy your picnic lunch onboard while cruising the Mekong downstream to Ban Thin Som. You get off at this village and the captain accompanies you on local transport (flat bed truck) to get to Kuangsi Waterfall. Visit the Bear Rescue Area, which rescue bears from poachers, exotic pet owners, or people planning to use them in traditional medicine. Then enjoy swimming in the natural pools and visiting the magical falls. Return same way back to the boat where you relax while enjoying beer, soft drinks and Lao snacks on your trip back into town. The tuk tuk will transfer you back to your hotel. |
