Khong Chiem

A beautiful Town with a Buddhist Monastery overlooking the Khong River, about 0.5 kilometers from the joining of the Khong and Moon Rivers (then becoming the mighty Mekong River). A nice lunch of local fish delicacies, followed by a boat ride into Laos for shopping, then to see the joining of the rivers (The yellow and Brown colors do not mix until downstream). A 20 minute boat ride downstream takes you to the borders of Laos, Cambodia and Thailand.
