The area has toned down its profile quite a bit in recent years, signaled by the huge rise in tourism, and its safety evinced by the presence of places like the Anantara Resort.

The luxurious retreat sat high upon a hill overlooking the Mekong River will be the place for two yoga retreats in May 2008 run by Mark O’Brien, a world-renowned yoga instructor. The program will take place in various locations around the resort, comprising of yoga and meditation sessions over the three or five day retreats.
