No, we're really not in Sam Neua, but with all the cold weather in the states I thought I would share a photo of a young "king" I took in Sam Neua on Christmas day last year. The weather in December through February can get very cold, sometimes close to freezing! There's a very friendly couple who run the Khaem Xam Guest House where we've stayed when we are in Sam Neua and this morning after walking through the market we came back and found their grandson bundled up and set in this throne by the entrance to the guesthouse where he could watch people walking by. The "throne" is a bamboo stool turned upside down. I just uploaded a video a friend and I took about six years ago walking through the old Sam Neua market on a similar cold morning. You can view it here on our YouTube channel.
