You step off the air-conditioned van and the air changes—warm, sweet with fruit and river mud, the Mekong itself nudging at the islands like a patient guide. Small wooden boats braid through narrow canals, and a three-leaf canoe slips like a slow heartbeat beneath palms. By late afternoon the village slows; hammocks sway; honey tea steams in a wooden house.
