Chiang Rai - Luang Prabang Mekong River Slow Boat 2-Day Transfer with Hotel Pickup

È un esperienza, dentro ad altre esperienze... ilnpaesaggio che scorre e cambia , ti accompagna sempre. Sono state due giornate di cielo terao, e grande sole, che faceva splendere il verde intorno. Per il resto la compagnia delle altre persone, che trovi durante la traversata, può essere piacevole o meno, ma la barca è grande, e c'è posto per tutti! ognuno vive la sua esperienza. Io porterò questa avventura nel cuore.

The guide WhatsApp me before the trip and let me know the details of the trip, for example you must prepare the perfect condition USD dollars for VISA application. The trip is smooth, van picked up from my hotel in Chiang Rai, travel to Chiang Khong Border, then cross the bridge to Houayxay, Lao. Furthermore, they have prepared the breakfast and money exchange service if necessary, then go to the slow boat pier and take the boat to Pak Beng to stay 1 night, you need to book the accommodation by yourself in Pak Beng. Overall the trip is smooth and easy for the first time travellers who are the first time to take the slow boat or visit Lao.

This was probably the most interesting way we’ve travelled around SE so far. I think with the slow boat, you’re paying for the experience more than you are an A-B journey. If you’re looking for comfort this isn’t for you, the chairs are dodgy and on the second leg of the journey a few of us had to sit in the back with the bags because there wasn’t enough space. Not everyone goes along with the onboard etiquette in public spaces (throwing trash overboard, smoking in the main boat and lots of hocking spit lol) But all that being said, it was a real adventure, the scenery was incredible, we made some great friends (I think through trauma bonding) and I’m actually so glad we did it. The sandwich at the initial stop before the boat was delicious and the people were lovely.

J’ai voyagé du 13 au 14 septembre. Le transfert c’est très bien passé tout comme le passage de frontière. Le bateau n’était pas plein ce qui nous laissait pas mal de place aussi bien le premier jour que le deuxième. Dans ces conditions je recommande l’expérience qui en plus des paysages magnifiques est bien plus agréable que le bus.

It was a great experience, the transport to the border from our hotel was ideal, we were helped with the visa and the boat was great fun, overall a great experience would highly recommend
