After having spent the night in Tad Lo and looked at the surroundings, I arrived in the town at lunchtime so my first stop was at Thatheng market. There are lots of fruit and vegetables there, piled up in colourful pyramids, rice, dried fish...But I went for a tasty dish of grilled chicken leg with sticky rice and chili sauce. After a fairly quick meal and the purchase of a few provisions it was time to go on to my next destination. Thateng isn't a particularly interesting town in itself but it's an important place to stop during a tour of the Bolaven plateau. If you are only doing the short tour of the plateau <a href="/laos/">during your trip to Laos,</a> you have to turn here to get to Paksong, the next big stage, about 50 kilometres away. If not then you go on as far as Sekong, 46 kilometres away.
