Hi fishtails

It's in Bokeo province in Nth Laos, about a third of the way between Huay Xai and Luang Nam Tha. I went there in Nov 06 and have written a little about it in my trip report on Laos and there is an old thread titled 'gibbons' where there is discussion about it as well. Travelfish have done a feature article on the Gibbon Experience, somewhere on this site.

Hope this helps

Regards

Marian

Yup.

Feature story is here, it's a tad dated, but still sums the place up pretty well.

I'd search the forum for other posts, but my internet connection right now is awful (don't believe anything internet salespeople say tell you!) - use the Google search box at the end of the thread for "Gibbons" and see what you find...
