251206 Sunset Guesthouse - 02

Note: the cat is NOT a real estate agent selling this place =P

At the back of the guesthouse section - containers carved from big fat bamboo stems?

Beneath a neighbour's house - space for parking motorbikes, sheltering livestock, weaving loom & what looks like conical fish traps?

No idea if the 'books for batteries' collection scheme was still in effect, but better than discarding them into the river or other water sources.

The cat has never travelled by European airlines to Southeast Asia but it was told that videos like this & this (Air France) are now screened inflight. The cat can only hope that the situation in Laos will never reach the proportions of that of Cambodia.
