The products are complete and the prices are reasonable. I didn't bargain because I felt embarrassed to bargain! I bought them back home and gave them to friends. Everyone thought they were very unique. After all, most of them are handmade.

There is a small village on the way to the Bau Grottoes. The boatman can stop for 20 minutes. It costs 2000 kip to use the toilet, but if you buy something from the store, they will not charge you. The rice wine brewed by the farmers is called lao lao, which is similar to fermented glutinous rice. There is also a 50% distilled wine. The boss will pour it for you to taste one by one. Most women like to see handmade fabrics, scarves, etc.
