Mekon River Ripples

During a trip last weekend to Mukdahan, we stopped along the Mekong river for lunch.  Signs leading up to the area indicated "Rapids."

The most memorable natural high in my life was going rafting down some rapids in Washington state.  It took a number of days to come down that natural high. 

What I saw in Mukdahan were mere ripples.  A good indication why there are no large barges or boats used for transportation of commercial goods  for extended distances along the Mekong river.

The rapids are probably a bit faster during the rainy season, when all the rocks are under water
Construction in the area is an indication that a larger public park is in the works   There are a number of restaurants in the area I felt a bit uneasy entering the dining areas, but they seemed quite sturdy
