Mekong River Trip

Tomorrow (Saturday) morning we leave for our Mekong River trip aboard the "Luang Say" boat. We splurged on these tickets – the Luang Say is a "luxury boat" that will take us to a town called Houeisay on the Laos/Thai border (www.asian_oasis.com). The trip is two days in length. We stop for the night tomorrow in a village called Pakbeng and stay at the Luang Say Lodge and then arrive in Houeisay around 5pm on Sunday. We’ll stay overnight in Houeisay and decide on Monday whether or not to continue on to Chiang Mai in Thailand (it all depends on the political situation in Thailand at that point). We’ll stay in Laos and figure out a way to fly to Europe from here if the Bangkok Airport doesn't reopen. More on that later.

We won’t have Internet access on the boat so there won’t be any blogging from us for a few days. Walter says there’s access in Houeisay.
