Located just across the Mekong from Chiang Khong in Thailand, Huay Xai was the first place in Northern Laos that I set foot into. The small town on the river is rather unspectacular, but I enjoyed visiting this temple.

Pai was my home for 5 weeks at the end of last year. The small town is surrounded by beautiful landscape. I was staying near the White Buddha temple and loved catching the sunset views from there!

The Bamboo Bridge near Pai offers picturesque views over the rice fields harvested by the villagers.

At first I was hesitant of even visiting Pai since I had heard that it was quite touristy, but I ended up falling in love with the small town and staying for over a month. This Bamboo Bridge is only one of the countless places to visit around Pai.

When we wanted to visit the famous White Temple near Chiang Rai in the late afternoon, it was already closed, but I managed to capture some nice shots in the evening light.
