We just arrived in Huay Xai after our 2-day trip up the Mekong River. We left Luang Prabang at 7am on Saturday and got here at 4:30pm today. Last night we stopped at an amazing lodge made up of wonderful bungalows looking out onto the river. The only thing our bungalow didn’t have hot water and it was cold….good thing we brought our fleece jackets. Almost everyone on our boat was originally planning on flying home through Bangkok following the boat trip. Walter and I have decided to stay in Laos until we have a better understanding of the political situation in Thailand. According to the news we just watched (our TV doesn’t have sound on the CNN channel), the Bangkok airports are still closed with 100,000 tourists stranded. Even if the airport reopens, getting on a flight out is slim. this week but have no ideatrying to get to the airport in Thailand. Many of their flights had already been cancelled. So we will look at flying out of Laos, Cambodia or Vietnam. Right now, we are far away from an international airport, but since we don’t have to be in Europe until about 10 December, it looks doable. Will keep you posted.
For our family’s information, we’re staying at the BAP Guest House in Huay Xai on Saykhong.
