Thread: Slow boat trip

i was only there 2 weeks ago....... the generators cut out at 10.15pm and everything was dark.

Thanks heaps guys! Still haven't decided whether or not we'll do Chiang Rai or Chiang Mai first so will end up leaving from one of the two, we're not leaving until Feb so plenty of time to figure it out.

Hi, where are you going to started from ? Chiang Mai or Chiang Rai. I am Thai people who stayed in CM and I have done this trip before. I got the ticket from CM to Chiang Khong for cheap price but I forgot the price and I will tell you after I find out it, but like 1500 B depart from CM then get to Chiang Khong by evening then stay over night in Chiang Khong including with dinner room and one breakfast until for the slowboat to Luang Phabang,...
