Leaving the travel story as it was yesterday I thought one of my two readers would ask about the end of the story of missing luggage. Remember that I left them on the bus, walked through customs from Thailand to Laos, and the bus went back to Thailand carrying my luggage. So what happened?
A fellow passenger on the bus was a European man. He lived in Thailand so he spoke both Thai and English. Explaining my dilemma he said he had a cell phone. Fortunately he knew the number of the bus company so called and explained about my suitcase. It wasn't long until the bus arrived and stopped on the Thai side. At the border there was a customs building. Walking on the opposite side of the building from the customs booth I reached the bus.
So far so good. But, now I was back in Thailand and had already cleared customs into Laos. What would you do? Surveying the situation it was apparent that all the border patrol personnel were focused on the sidewalk, which I'd used to enter Laos, and the road next to it. All their backs were to the building and the space between the customs booth and that building. Picking up my bags I walked nonchalantly through that space back into Laos. It worked, I was now in country with my bags.
That's my story and I'm sticking with it!😀

"Laos features extensive karst mountains, which are dramatic limestone formations characterized by towering peaks, deep caves, and sinkholes. The landscape is particularly well-known in areas like Vang Vieng and Khammouan Province, offering stunning scenery and opportunities for activities like climbing and caving. These mountains are the result of millions of years of erosion on the soluble limestone bedrock."
