Panoramas from Laos in 2007

Welcome to my panoramas from Laos in 2007. Each pano is interactive and all are zoom-able, regardless of whether it is Flash or Java. However, it's the Java ones which rotate. Have a gander at them, there is no rush. Some are about 1MB and so may take a while to download depending on your connection speed. I hope it's worth it though!

Slightly less panoramas from Laos than from Thailand - but no less worth your time!

Wat Tham Phu Si, Luang Prabang

Taken atop Phu Si looking South South East up Nam Khan, you can see some villages in the distance where some of the monks come from to attend the temples in Phu Si. This panorama requires the Java plugin.

That Chomsi, Luang Prabang

Taken at the very top of Phu Si on a little rocky outcrop I did this 360˚ panorama of the whole of Luang Prabang, it's a pretty good view point. This panorama requires the Java plugin.

Tat Kuang Si, Luang Prabang

I think that these were the best set of waterfalls that I saw on the whole World Tour. Seriously, if you are ever near Luang Prabang you must take a tuk-tuk ride out to see Tat Kuang Si, it is about 32kms away. This panorama requires the Java plugin.

Pak Ou, Luang Prabang

Housed in a cliff face on the banks of the Mekong is this small shallow cave which is full of little religious relics and statues of Buddhas. The entrance is quite imposing as it is rather steep and just drops into the river. This panorama requires the Java plugin.

Plain of Jars (Site 3), Phonsavan

Taken atop the site looking back down to the car park. I loved the moody monsoon clouds and the lighting of the fields, it looked very cool. This panorama requires the Java plugin.

Seset River, Tadlo

Taken on the balcony of the recently renovated Sephaseuth Guest House in Tadlo. On the far left, behind the bridge and slightly through the trees you can make out the Tat Lo waterfalls. This panorama requires the Java plugin.

Khone Phapheng, Si Phan Don

This is a rather special place for me. I first came here in 2005 and I was blown away by the sheer power and noise of these falls. I also saw a Western traveller who was just sat on the floor with her eyes closed in semi-meditation just listening to the noise. It was quite a humbling sight. I managed to get a photo of her. Ever since then I've wanted to go back and do what she did, sit down, close my eyes and just let the power and the noise of the falls wash over me. It was great. This panorama requires the Java plugin.
