We had to cross the bridge a couple of times to get to a restaurant on the other side. Despite its appearance, it is rather strong and sturdy.
It is taken apart and stored in a nearby forest, and then re-installed a couple of times each year by a family because of the rainy seasons. The 5000 kip fee you pay helps to pay th family’s expenses.
I motorbiked around the rivers and I saw this bamboo bridge. You ONLY can walk over it = NO bikes or motorbikes. I saw one in Cambodia that you can drive over it; bicycles & motorbikes.
Extremely authentic and extraordinary experience - totally suggest you to do that !!! This bamboo bridge can be put up only half a year since the river goes down. It’s holds up only by bamboo sticks and some robes , not even 1 nail was used . Amazing !!!
Not many time will one get a chance to cross a bridge made of bamboo. At first was a bit frightened as we thought that the bridge may not support us. But as we were walking across, we noticed that the bridge was pretty sturdy.
5000 LAK to walk across, which apparently goes to the local family who builds and maintains the bridge (bearing in mind that it is only in position during the dry months). Interesting enough to walk across and snap a few pics along the way.
It is interesting to see how people cross the river in the old days and still do it today. Other than that, not much more!
