There’s an island right in the middle of
the Mekong River that’s home to about a 1,000 people. The rich silt is ideal for growing corn and
other crops.
We walk down the narrow paths and see how
they live and observe their lifestyle.
The homes are all on stilts, although the threat of Mekong flooding has
waned in recent years as counties upstream are siphoning off the water for
their own agriculture and hydro projects.

A narrow bridge connects two parts of the
island community.
The motorbike is the Ford F150 of Vietnam.
Happy kids are everywhere and want to wave
and shake our hands.
