Champasak Monsoon Ruins and Mekong Rhythms

On my last full day in Champasak, I walk the rain-washed paths of Wat Phou, navigate the quiet one-street royal capital, and prepare for the climb to the Bolaven Plateau. We talk about the monsoon floods, the cost of living, and the resilience of the Mekong communities. ☕ Enjoying the show?
