 Sayabouri
Province
Sayabouri
province is quite close to Vientiane, but being quite mountainous
is quite remote. The province shares its borders with
six Thai provinces.
The
capital of the province, Sayabouri is on the banks of the Nam
Hung, a tributary of the Mekong.
The
province houses the Nam Phoun National Biodiversity Conservation
Area which is 1150 sq km of forested hills that contain Asiatic
black bear, dhole, elephant, guar, gibbon, Malayan sun bear
and Sumatran rhino.
The
southern part of the province has many scenic waterfalls, but
getting around this part of the province is very difficult.
