Kiu Kacham, Laos

Kiu Kacham, Laos (27 December, 2005)


Kiu Kacham is a small rural town in Laos. It is not a tourist destination. It is simply another stopover point for trips between Phonsavan and Luang Prabang. I stopped here with members of AsiaExplorers on our long journey to Luang Prabang. We arrived very late at night, and had our dinner at a roadside stall.

The town was almost dead. The street lights were dim, and there were just a few shops open. I took out my camera to take a few night shots of Kiu Kacham. I enjoyed town in darkness. I saw a young boy doing his homework by the light of a single bulb while at the same time minding the stall.

From Kiu Kacham, we continued our journey heading towards Luang Prabang, arriving close to midnight. It gives me an endearing glimpse at life in rural Laos at night.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
