Walked the high street and down to the Khan River which flows into the Mekong and stopped for a beer. Visited the most important Wat the Wat Xiengthong, very old of brick and wood with lots of murals and mosaics.
Walked back along the banks of the Khan and found the steps up to the Pou Si hill with it’s Stupa at the top and a great view over the town.
Back to hotel for a swim and cuppa.
Found a great restaurant called the Tamarind, had a set menu for two which included first course, tasting dish with dips, mains, puddings and beer all for 120,000 Kip each which is about £9.00 per head. The best cooking we have had so far (apart from that we cooked at school of course).
