Boats at the banks of the Mekong River, Laos

I took this photo while travelling on the Slow Boat up the Mekong River in Laos back in 2011. As the boat slowly chugged it’s way up the river, we stopped in at many small villages on the banks of the river to offload passengers and cargo. The Mekong River is the only way to get to most of these villages.
