i travelled through laos, staying in vang vieng, luan prabang, pakbeng and your shots make me want to go back. unfortuantly I only had an APS camera, truly gutted as it is some of the most spectacular scenery I have ever seen. fantastic gallery

I guess everything has been said before, great gallery. I'm counting down the days 'till december, when I'll be there myself.

Guest		20-Jul-2004 05:37
Wonderful. Not much else to say.

Guest		16-Apr-2004 22:57
Very very good!

Vermont USA writer		25-Mar-2004 07:31
Seeing how much better your work is than so many other pbase contributors, I am afraid I'll have to find money for one of those wide-angle zooms (which of course, because of the optics, keep almost everything sharp). A brilliant choice of equipment, used with tremendous photographic insight. Keep going.

La Cnanthalyma		16-Mar-2004 22:35
Sabaidee...Very impressive pictures. You have captivated the natural beauty of the country. The sceneries were remarkable. Keep up the good work.

Awesome! Absolutely awesome!

Guest		04-Oct-2003 07:31
Beautiful country, and beautiful pictures! Really liked the way you used a wide-angle to capture the expansive beauty of the country.

Francis Toussaint		01-Oct-2003 12:15
Very nice...These pictures have revived fond memories of my stay in the " Royaume du Laos", where I lived from 1968 until 1970. Thanks to your images, I realize that this beautiful country looks exactly the same as it was over 30 years ago...

Guest		23-Sep-2003 15:10
Some really fine images. And you did them all with one lens? Terrific!

Guest		22-Sep-2003 03:41

Absolutely beautiful images, Seng, I have added you to my favourites list. Well done, you have my vote, Mary

Guest		07-Aug-2003 19:52
One of the best galleries I've ever seen on Pbase. Wonderful photos.

Guest		07-Aug-2003 19:41
Beautiful pictures. I didn't make it to Laos when I travelled around SE Asia but having seen your photos, I wish I had. Next time, maybe. "Morning mist over VangVieng, Laos" is a stunning photo.

Guest		07-Jul-2003 14:35
Wonderfully entertaining gallery and overview of Laos. The wide angle lens does so well with these compositions and presentations. Your camera is digital isn't it, and has the same magnification factor as the Canon D60 that I use. Great for the long end, not so great for wide angle. Viewing this portfolio has convinced me to get the 16-28mm offered by Canon. But it all comes down to your great eye. These photos are well seen and composed. Technically good and artistically pleasing. Where's your next trip going to be?

Tom		19-Jun-2003 15:48
