Nam Ou River, Laos
The people living along the banks of the Nam Ou work the river in a variety of fascinating ways, even planting crops along the river banks to attract fish which they then capture in ingenious bamboo traps. Their boat handling skills are of course quite exceptional -- it seems any Lao over the age of 6 can handle one of these long boats.
