Breakfast and off we go at 8:30 AM heading toward the Laotian border in 2 minivans. We stop at 10:30 AM to buy snacks for the down river Mekong river boat trip that starts tomorrow...this trip is listed as one of the top 1000 events one should do before dying. At 12:30 PM we stop for lunch. We are in the province of Chiang Rai. Across the road is this impress the all white Wat Rong Khun...the pictures are spectacular.
After lunch we board a small long tail boat which will carries us from Thailand to Laos......we see the Laotian village of Huay Xai which is our overnight stopover before heading down the Mekong River. We have filled out all necessary forms for departing Thailand and entering Laos. One must be alert to ensure that their passport/visas have been stamped properly when entering and exiting a country......a missing stamp can cause delays and extra costs.
