The president of MCKC had the chance to take part in the 2024 Northern Laos expedition led by Joerg Dreybrodt of the Swiss Speleological Society. A total of 7 cavers from 6 different nationalities were involved in this expedition, covering karst in 3 districts.

A heartfelt appreciation goes to the Laotian government for their trust and permit, officials from the Tourism Department and Tourism Police, guides and drivers, all village heads and local people for their effort and warm hospitality.
