Chiang Khong – A jumping point into Laos from Chiang Rai
Chiang Khong is a small peaceful town that connects Thailand to Laos. If you are ever in the area, do spend a night or two because the town has a lot to offer and much of it can be seen on two wheels
Thailand To Laos Slow Boat, Part 1 | Chiang Rai To Chiang Khong By Bus
How do you get from Thailand to Laos? We have good news—there are several easy ways to make your way across the border! We began our journey in the city of Chiang Rai, taking the local bus from Chiang Rai Bus Terminal 1 two hours north to the border town of Chiang Kong. While it is possible to leave Chiang Rai early enough to arrive in Huay Xai, Laos before the slow boats depart at 11:00am, we opted to spend one night in Chiang Khong before making our way through border patrol and across the Thai-Laos Friendship Bridge.

Chiang Mai to Chiang Khong by BUS
Location: Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, and Chiang Khong, Thailand
Today we embarked on an overland journey from Chiang Mai to Chiang Khong. First we took a bus from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai. This journey took about three and half hours. We left from the Chiang Mai bus terminal at 11:30 via the green bus company.
After arriving in Chiang Rai we quickly boarded a local bus that would take us the rest of the way to Chiang Khong. The local bus from Chiang Rai to Chiang Khong took about two hours, and there was no A/C on the bus. It was a hot ride, but also a very beautiful ride because we got to see the rural country side of Thailand.
After arriving in Chiang Khong, we caught a tuk tuk to our guest house. The journey from Chiang Mai to Chiang Khong was more pleasant than expected. Anytime we have to ride on buses all day, I always prepare myself for the worst. However, I would recommend going overland between these two cities to anyone.

The 2 Day $50 Mekong River Laos Cruise - Chiang Rai to Luang Prabang Slow Boat
I remember reading about the slow boat in Laos. A cruise down the Mekong that took 2 days, finishing in Luang Prabang, a city that one close friend described as a place I could stay forever. I knew it was something I had to do, especially after visiting Northern Thailand, other parts of Laos, and traveling a significant portion of the Mekong River. We started in Chiang Rai, Thailand's largest northern city.
The first step is taking a bus from Chiang Rai's main bus station. To ensure ourselves a spot on the boat, we got the first bus out of town at around 6AM. The bus goes to to Chiang Khong. It was filled with tourists who were looking to do the same thing as us. Normally, the bus stops at the bus station in Chiang Khong, but since everyone was hoping to get to the border the driver said he'd go right to the border for an extra buck each - worth it for not having to haggle with tuk-tuk drivers alone.
Once at the border, we exited Thailand and waited for a shuttle bus to take us across the Friendship bridge to Laos. We went through immigration where you can get a visa on arrival (the cost depends on what country you're from). You'll need a couple passport sized photos and your fee in USD (there was a table doing money exchange if you can't get it ahead of time).
Once we were officially in Laos, we took a tuk-tuk to the Huay Xai pier where we booked our boat tickets and geared up with snacks and beer (turns out the beer for sale on the boat was the same price).
Make sure you get on the boat early to get a good seat. Most of the seats are former car seats and pretty comfy, but a spot away from the back, where the engine is, will be a bit quieter.
After that, it's about 6 hours to Pak Beng. The ride was very pleasant. We watched the hills roll and the occasional village go by. I was surprised how remote it was. Over the course of the 2 days, we didn't see anything big enough to be called a town let alone a city.
In Pak Bang you'll get off the boat and immediately be accosted by people wanting you to stay in their guesthouse. We walked past everyone, took a right at the road, and went into the first place we saw. They had rooms available for 100,000 LAK (about $12). The room was nothing special but it was close to the pier and had a decent bed. A guy checking-in in front of us had booked ahead and paid way more than we did.
After a pleasant sleep, we got up and had some breakfast. The boat left at 9AM, so we went down to the pier around 8AM to get a decent seat. The boat was different (I think the one we took there turns around and goes back to Huay Xai with a load of people doing the same trip in the opposite direction).
The 2nd day offered similar views and lasted about 7 hours - arriving in Luang Prabang at around 4PM. The boat drops you outside of the city, so you'll have to get a tuk-tuk into town. Tickets for that can be bought in the building at the top of the hill.
I really did love this trip. I was a bit worried that it would be uncomfortable or boring, but it was just nice and relaxing. The boat was pretty much all tourists, so you could socialize with people, get a card game going, or just stare across the Mekong and day dream the day away.
New videos are posted every Tuesday and Thursday at 3PM EST.

Wat Rong Khun the White Temple of Chiang Rai

Doing the tourist thing today and going to see Wat Rong Khun, The White Temple. It's 13.8km from the city centre and is easily reached by public bus. Ignore all the tuktuks and song taews and head to the old bus terminal which is right next to the Night Bazaar (temporary bus terminal just a little further up).
Ask around and you'll get pointed to a sky blue bus that departs every 30 minutes. Tell the driver Wat Rong Khun and he'll make sure you get off at the right stop. 20THB and 20 minutes later and you're almost there. Get off at the main intersection, cross the main road and walk passed the King's image 30 meters and you're there.
50THB (AUD$2) entry for foreigners to enjoy the scene. Take your photos, pay your respect to Buddha and it's time to eat. After grabbing some Thai noodle soup, head back to the main intersection and wait for the bus just to the left outside the police station.
Enjoy the bus ride back to town.
