Lak Sao eatery, a photo from Bolikhamxai, South

Photographer's Note

Not very much to do but a place with two roads crossing and some hotels in a fine landscape. Not many tourists stop here although there is a real tourist information center. The man who runs the place only speaks Lao and not a word English.
Still there was even a washing machine in the hotel and we could wash and dry what wass handy because it suddenly had rained for two complete days.
There was also a place for a good noodle soup lunch ehen we arrived soaking wet.

Hi Gerrit
Fascinating place if only for the fact that it's not touched by mass tourism and people don't speak English.
The image itself - great idea to use the panoramic format to include a lot of activity happening in this eatery. Also, well taken in challenging light.
Best wishes
Kasia

Hi Gerrit
A good out of the way place and a good photo of the customers, although I do notice what looks like bottles of the ubiquitous Maggi chilli sauce on the tables. (and looks like a bottle on the right hand table of the same brand of fish sauce that we use at home.)
cheers
Ian

Hello Gerrit, Interesting picture of the restaurant somewhere by the road. I do not see what they eat here.
After five weeks of rice and kebabs, and Arab bread, I am happy to have our food.

Kind regards MAlgo

Bonjour, cher Gerrit,
Voilà la vraie définition du tourisme de découverte.
Cette vue panoramique rend bien compte de la réalité, nous sommes loin des vues touristiques habituelles.
Merci, également, pour la note.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello Gerrit,
An interesting choice of a panoramic shape for an interior photo. It gives us a good view of the restaurant and its guests who surprisingly don't pay any attention at all to you. The food and mobile phones are more interesting than the relatively rare tourists. You handled the difficult light very well.
Regards,
Gert

Dag Gerrit,
Een foto die prachtig de landerige sfeer in deze eterij weergeeft.
Dat was waarschijnlijk met handen en voeten praten of kon je met google translate o.i.d. nog enige conversatie voeren?
Have a nice day, groet Rob

Bonjour Gerrit,

J'aime beaucoup le format de cette composition car cela nous permet d'en voir large. Les gens semblent très concentrés sur le contenu de leur assiette.

Amicalement

Serge

Hello Gerrit,

U zal het verschil nu wel kennen tussen deze landen en onze westerse cultuur.
Maar als tourist zal u heel veel geleerd hebben.
Ik zou denken dat iedere zaak, de eigenaar zou engels spreken, of toch elementair.
Mooie foto van het dagelijks leven, bedankt.

Groeten uit Vlaanderen,
John.

Hi Gerrit

It could have been taken years ago but the 2 persons looking on their Iphone reveal thats' it's a XXIth century take! Good long landscape size to remove the unwanted.
Cheers
