On the same visit to Lao PDR...

Bought this card and stamp at a post agent during a visit to Luang Prabang, a UNESCO site using "The Town of Luang Prabang" as its officially listed name. The card shows the Tad Mak Mo.

Dropped into the mail box on 16/1/2008, the same night bought the card. Only to be stamped on 21/1/08 with Luang Phabang (ຫຼວງພະບາງ). It was rested there for some days, even though the main post office of this heritage town is about 500m away. The stamp shows a typical Lao house (7000₭).

My first self-sent postcard...

A card bought from Vang Vieng but the card shows Anousavaly (or commonly known as Patuxay) found in Vientiane. I couldn't buy any stamp on that freezing night...

So, it was sent from Wattay International Airport, Vientiane, on 15/1/2008 but it was stamped previous date. Maybe I'm the first customer and it still not yet change the date. It was stamped on the spot with Wattay (ວັດໄຕ). The stamps show Lao jewelry (5000₭ + 2000₭).
