1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour #576 - Nam Khan Bamboo Bridge, Luang Prabang

1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour After Remission #576
 
- Nam Khan Bamboo Bridge, Luang Prabang, Laos
 

(This unique bridge over the Nam Khan River is built using only bamboo. It closes for 6 months of the year from August due to heavy monsoon rains, making the swollen Ham Khan river a dangerous walk across it. There is a cute jewelry shop at the other side, which also teaches people to make local trinkets. I picked up a lovely leopard ring from it. Seeing children swimming by the river side here brings back memories of old when floods take over the drains at home every December)
