Some photos from 030807 included in this post.

Conical hats = heavily laden vendors making their endless rounds of waiting passengers:

Can be hard to come across anything infrastructure-related in Laos that wasn't donated by some foreign government/NGO:

There were quite a few red passports among the maroon (Thai) & blue (Lao) ones on our bus.

On 030807, another red passport spotted - the NTUC Fairprice plastic bag national icon is a dead giveaway:

P8030586
P8030587

Tuktuk drivers swarmed around the rest of the red passports from our Udon Thani-Vientiane bus & closed in for the kill:

There must be something about huge backpacks that scream out 'rich pickings'. Helped them negotiate something acceptable to both parties.

K-san & the cat found their own tuktuk driver, who brought them to Tuktuk-land along Rue Gallieni (the section between IE201-202 on this map):
