From Chiang Mai: Through Borders and Towns to Luang Prabang

Travel from Chiang Mai to Luang Prabang on a 3-day Mekong River journey via Huay Xai and Pak Beng. Experience the authentic atmosphere of a traditional local slow boat.
Begin your journey with a pickup from your hotel in Chiang Mai city center by standard air-conditioned van. Stop at Fa Sai Coffee Shop for a short break before continuing to Chiang Rai. Enjoy a lunch break near the famous White Temple (Wat Rong Khun) (lunch is at your own expense).

Arrive at the Thai immigration checkpoint. Your guide will assist you with visa application documents and provide a visa photograph service, where applicable. After completing Thai immigration procedures, cross the Mekong River to Huay Xai by shuttle bus.

Upon arrival at the Huay Xai border checkpoint, your local guide will welcome you and assist you with the Lao visa application process. After completing immigration procedures, transfer to Riverside Huay Xai Hotel for your overnight stay.

The next day, meet your guide at your hotel and transfer by van to the Huay Xai Slow Boat Pier. At the pier, your guide will provide basic travel information and assist with loading your luggage onto the Local Slow Boat.

Board the traditional Local Slow Boat and begin your journey along the Mekong River. Spend the day cruising through the beautiful landscapes of northern Laos. Watch local riverside communities go about their daily lives, admire rocky formations in the river, and enjoy the company of international backpackers and local passengers.

Arrive in Pak Beng, a small riverside town along the Mekong River. Passengers must arrange their own accommodation in Pak Beng. Advance booking is strongly recommended, especially during the high season. You may also ask your tour guide for accommodation recommendations.

On the final day, leave your accommodation and return to the pier to board the Local Slow Boat for the second day of your river journey.
