BANGKOK -- An American man and his teenage son died last month after they were swarmed by wasps while ziplining at an adventure camp in Laos and stung many dozens of times, a hospital official said Thursday. Dan Owen, the director of an international school in neighboring Vietnam, and his son Cooper were attacked by the insects on Oct. 15 at the Green Jungle Park, as they were descending from a tree at the end of the zip line.

Luang Prabang has transformed dramatically over the last decade, evolving from a backpacker stop to a thriving tourist destination, attracting millions and boosting the local economy.
