The Ghost Ship of Huay Xai
I woke up at dawn (thank you, roosters, I’ll see you at lunch) in the small border town of Huay Xai on the Mekong, and decided to go on a walk before crossing the river into Thailand.
I was climbing a random sandy and grassy hill to get a better shot of the river and some of the boats on it, when I did a double-take. Above me, lodged in the grass and previously hidden from view by a hill, was a marooned boat.
Creepy, but very cool.

As to the roosters waking you up in the morning, get some earplugs. I never travel without them.
