Located in the remote mountainous area of Luang Prabang Province in northern Laos, Ban Ekchoum Phoukanian is a typical representative of traditional Laotian villages. Surrounded by mountains and with the Mekong River tributary meandering through, the village retains its pristine natural scenery and simple Laotian culture.
