Bamboo bridge over Nam Khan River Luang Prabang, Laos
This is a seasonal bridge. I understand that to mean that this thing gets destroyed when it gets overrun by the waters coming off the Mekong River. So they have to rebuilt it again, hence the 5,000 LAK fee for crossing. Its bamboo everything. No way to run on this thing.

After visiting Luang Prabang, it was no surprise to learn that many legends are associated with the founding of this ancient, historically rich city.
The city served as the country's capital until 1975; and, with it's mystery, beauty, adaptability and resilience, embodies the heart of Laotian culture.
Seated at the confluence of the Nam Khan and Mekong rivers, Luang Prabang is surrounded by lush, protective mountain ranges and dense jungle. It hosts 33 beautiful Buddhist temples known as wats; and as a former French Colony, the town blends the best of S.E. Asian beauty and mystery with French Provencal charm.
In addition to the religiously followed ;), visually stunning and spiritually inspiring early morning alms giving ceremony, the wats, museums, local markets, ubiquitous French inspired coffee shops, delicious fuzion food, and trekking opportunities into Lao's lush countryside, this charming bamboo bridge is just one of the many beautiful surprises that you will encounter when you visit this UNESCO World Heritage site.

Crossing the bamboo bridge in Luang Prabang, Laos
Travelling with a camera over the bamboo bridge. During the dry season in Luang Prabang (December to May approximately), local families build 2 bamboo bridges across the Nam Khan river, just before it meets the mighty Mekong.
You can cross for a small price (40p and 80p return), rather than taking the long way around. Tuk-tuks in LP are expensive comparatively speaking to a much longer minivan trip. E.g, a 6 hour minivan journey to the city is 1 million kip (£8). A short, 5 minute ride into the city centre is £4.
The bridges are rather bouncy and rickety. But they are great fun, a fab place to people watch and an excellent spot for photographs.
Check out the video of me crossing the bridge and practising my Laos! I couldn’t have set the kids up shouting hello from the other side if I had tried - just perfect!
Be sure to check out my website for more travel blogs, tips and much more.
