76: Off to Laos
Saturday, February 4th, 2006At long last I’m off to Laos tomorrow.
I will travel overland for 3 days to get to Luang Prabang, the old capital of Laos in the northern part.
I will take a bus to the Thai-Laos Border near Chiang Khong where I will stay for one night. Next day I will cross the border and after getting my Laos Visa sorted hop on a boat to drive down the Mekong River to Luang Prabang. The boat trip will take 2 days, stopping half way in a small village called Pak Beng along the river.
The whole trip will take me 3 days from Chiang Mai to Luang Prabang so don’t expect any blog updates for a few days 😉
PS: Until I have a Laos SIM Card (if such a thing exists;-) I will switch back to my UK SIM since the Thai SIM Card probably won’t work over there… Of course I have no idea what the reception is like in Laos 😐
