Self-driving on the northwest route of Laos: Arrive at Bokeo and watch the sunset over the Mekong River.

Unexpectedly, Laos and Thailand are separated by nothing more than the narrow bends of the Mekong River. This evening, we arrived in Bojiao. The weather became slightly dry. When the car passed by the Mekong River, we stopped briefly and stood by the river to admire the sunset. In our hearts, we exclaimed: "It's so beautiful!" The river looks so calm, with the golden light of the setting sun shining on the surface of the water. The deep brown rocks are not afraid of the daily erosion of the river. Setting aside history, legends, and some true stories, this river is a beautiful and peaceful one. The other side of the river is Thailand, close enough to say hello to each other! On the riverbank, there is an ancient rock wall with Buddha statues carved on it. It is said to have a history of more than 600 years. Gold leaves are offered in front of the Buddha statues, and locals come here to worship.

Kapok Island, Golden Delta

Kapok Island in Laos is located in Dongpeng County, northwest of Bokeo Province in the Golden Triangle of Laos. It is located on the banks of the Mekong River, at the junction of Laos, Thailand, and Myanmar. To the east is the remnant of the Hengduan Mountains - Jinlong Mountain, and to the southwest is Chiang Rai, Thailand. It faces Myanmar and the Mekong River in the northwest. Many of the buildings on Kapok Island were built by the Chinese side. Among them, the "Anti-Drug Cultural and Creative Museum" is the first in the world with the theme of "Anti-drugs", with three aspects of drug prevention, drug resistance and drug rejection. The multi-sensory experience, entertaining and entertaining, brings more colorful anti-drug cultural education to the public. It is believed that in the near future, the Laos Golden Triangle Special Economic Zone, vigorously promoted by the Golden Kapok Group, will become a golden paradise for the tourism industry in Southeast Asia and a magnificent gem showing the most beautiful customs in Southeast Asia.

Gorgeous and prominent colors are combined with sculptures that we consider exaggerated.
