The scene depicts a riverine recreational area in Ban Nampoun, Laos, under a heavily overcast sky with dense grey cloud cover. In the background, prominent karst limestone mountains rise, their peaks partially obscured by atmospheric haze or clouds. A clear river flows from the background towards the foreground, featuring a man-made weir that creates a small waterfall in the mid-ground. Dense green foliage and large trees line both riverbanks. On the left bank, multiple rudimentary wooden huts with tin roofs are visible amidst thick vegetation. Several individuals, some appearing to be in swimwear, stand near these structures and at the water's edge, interacting. The right bank features a longer, dark-roofed wooden building and a series of smaller, uniformly constructed wooden bungalows with pitched roofs, some appearing to be changing rooms or seating areas. Numerous individuals are engaged in water activities, swimming or wading in designated pools or sections of the river. Others are congregated on wooden platforms that extend over the water, socializing. A simple wooden plank bridge with timber posts spans the extreme right foreground, connecting to an area of overgrown vegetation. Small boats or rafts are visible further upstream in the river.
