Slow boat: Huay Xai → Luang Prabang in two days
Two days down the Mekong from the Thai border to Luang Prabang. Honestly: bring snacks, a cushion, and a book.
Two-day slow boat from Huay Xai
It’s slow. The seats are hard. The bathroom is basic. But it’s also one of the great trips of Southeast Asia — six hours of Mekong scenery a day, the river bending through mountains.
Night stop at Pakbeng. Then on to Luang Prabang.
