Two way-crossing costs 5000 Kip (about 60 cents) what goes into the re-building of the bridge after about 6 months as the high tide will then carry it away ... It was a little shaky but fun to cross.
We used the bridge to go to Dyen Sabah restaurant to have a very special hot pot dinner (with grilled meat as well as cooked vegetables).
We used the bridge to get to Dyen Sabah restaurant and it is quite a rickety and fun bridge to cross. The cost to travel the bridge goes to building the next years one after the monsoon season washes this years away
Typical of the area but nothing really special. I understand that they have to rebuild it every year given flooding.
Beautiful bridge over Nam Khan river. On the other side of the bridge is another side of Luang Prabang with not so many tourists.
For some it's a novelty but for others a way of life. It's what some villagers use to get across from their village to the town across the river. During the monsoons when it gets flooded the bridge is destroyed and has to be rebuilt in the hot dry season. Unique for its testament to the villagers' tenacity and grit.
Go across if you dare, it's rickety and unstable but your curiosity and instagram pics will help the villagers in some way
5,000 Kip to help keep a bridge for locals and tourists operational for most of the year is a small price to pay for a great photo opportunity. There was no one on it when I was which ensured great photos!
