Phasouam: The Guest house

Hi every body. Let me continue telling you about Phasouam. In the water fall area there is a resort with guest houses. There are many houses built in tribal style but inside you can find a bed room and a convenient toilet and shower.



This room costs 30 US$ for 1 night. There is a regulation for sex trade which should be penalties:

1. One cow for a village
2. 3 million Kips (300 US$) for the government
3. 3 months of imprisonment
   Strange rule isn't it?
   

Phasouam: The bridge

We are still talking about Phasouam. Houay Champa is the name of the stream which need to cross and the bridge we are talking about is used for crossing Houay Champa.
The bridge has made from metallic sling and bamboo.


Under the bridge you can see fish swimming in transparent water. At another end of the bridge there ia a blue sign in Lao language telling not to run, jump or sway. I saw this kind of bridge rarely in Laos.



Houay is Lao word meaning stream
