There are two of these bamboo bridges that I came across while in Luang Prabang both not dar from each other. It's impressive to see these hand built structurea which are used by the locals everyday to cross the Mekong River and which have to be rebuilt every year after the rainy season. There is a small coat for foreigners to cross the bridge but I enjoyed the experience of crossing so would recommend it.

I didn't have long in Luang Prabang - one day (due to flight cancellation cutting my stay short)., however I was very pleased I decided to walk all the way to the end of the main street and see this bridge, close by where the Nahm Kahn river flows into the mighty Mekong. Obviously important to local people, as I watched several cross over in the few minutes I was taking in the view, high up on the river bank. I wish I had had time to cross it myself, and contribute the small cost to such a worthy cause (of reconstruction after it is washed away in the rainy season). It was very hot (38%, and midday), so I decided to take a tuk tuk back to my hotel. There are plenty of restaurants that overlook this site with really great views - sadly, no time to try one out. A Must Do in LP, I would recommend.

We (Mum, Dad, 11, 9, 7) walked across the bamboo bridge. We had to pay 5,000 kip (kids also), but it was worth it. We found it very stable and it’s incredible to think they rebuild it every year as it gets washed away during the wet season. We had a nice drink at Dyen Sabah as the view across the Nam Khan was fantastic.
