Southern Laos - Pakse and Champasak

Part of Vat Phou, a large Khmer temple near Champasak in southern Laos. Southern Laos could well be that long sought after ideal - a destination largely untouched by the vagaries of mass tourism. It is a nice and scenic area, and depending on your interests, there is a fair amount to see and do, although it may require a bit of 'roughing it' in less than POSH accommodations.
