Hi there,

We’re heading to Laos in February (2011) with two adults and a 5-year-old. While we’re in Champasak, we’d like to visit a village to see elephants. A few questions:

- The guidebook I was lent mentions two villages: Ban Khiet Ngon and Ban Papho. Has anyone visited these villages before? Which one would you recommend?

- Is it possible to do the trip from Champasak to the village, an elephant ride, and then the journey to Pakse all in the same day?

- What’s the best way to get around for these trips?

Thanks in advance for your help.
