Khaopoon on Heuabuk

A woman selling khaopoon on Heuabuk. All vehicles cross the Mekong River by Heuabuk to go to Champassak via Baan Mouang. Passengers can eat one bowl of Khaopoon while enjoying the beautiful nature of those villages along the Mekong River. "Khaopoon on Heuabuk" was YUMMY! (Maybe I was hungry?). Photo by Pauline 2009.
