So we got up early and made the 3km walk to the bus station with our backpacks....hard going! We got there n had to wait two hours for the bus which we didn't mind cos we were knackerd from the walk so we got some noodles n chilled out in the station. When we got on the bus It was infested with mozzys arrghhh I freaked out, ben thought it was funny like 4 hours with me terrified and swatting everything on sight...I looked mental! Got off at Chiang Rai got our room...it had a bed...it would do haha! Went out to the night went to the night Market, it was lovely all the locals selling handmade crafts it was like a fairy town all lit up. We watched some Thai dancers and singers on the local stage and bought two disgusting milkshakes!
I bought a pair of elephant earrings for like 50p :-). Then off to bed!
Next we has to get up to Chiang kong to make the border crossing over to Laos, we met a nice guy from Korea called Mars and crossed the border with him, it only took about ten mins across the Mekong on a long tail boat. Then we had to sort all the visas n that out again...
Huay Xai-
Got a nice room and had a little wander around Huay Xai it was a nice little place not much to do really Just a stopover on the way to Luang Prabang. We sorted out boat trip out for tomorrow which was a two day slow boat down the Mekong....sounds tranquil.....that's what we thought!
