Day 4 :
After breakfast, some basic paddle instructions and practice prepare for the final day of kayaking on the Nam Ou River.
The first stretch south of Ban Pak Chaek takes you through five fun rapids (grade 1 to 2, suitable for beginners). The Khmu-village of Ban Sibounhom is visited along the way.
The afternoon is spent in calmer waters, as the villages become more numerous, a lot of vegetable gardens can be seen on the banks.
