Into Laos

Treehouse 7
Originally uploaded by emilymeyerson

After crossing the Mekong River from Chiang Khong, Thailand to Houey Xai, Laos on a small boat, we registered for the gibbon experience.The next day we drove to the Bokeo National Park and hiked in about 1 hour where we received our harnesses. We walked and "zipped" our way for another hour to our home for two nights. . .treehouse #7. It was a treehouse, yes, 40 to 50 meters in the air. Just spectacular. We saw gibbons our first morning and heard them sing our second morning. We hiked and zipped through the forest for three days. Just amazing, a highlight of the trip.

BTW: you don't pronounce the "s" in Laos.
