South of Attepeu

A pleasant wander around

What we say:

Take the ferry across to Ban Sekhaman -- the 'pier' is in front of the Saysekong Hotel, ferries run all day, cost 1,000 kip per person, 2,000 kip more to transport a motorcylce. Ban Sekhaman is a pleasant village for a walk around, with a couple of noodle stalls and a crumbling wat.

Phu Wong, 16km away is a fairly uninteresting town whilst the road continues onto a dam construction site. Lao officials really don't like tourists wandering around down here, near to the dam and there is some controversial resettlement of tribal people (due to the said dam) going on in the same area.
