Mekong River, Vientiane Province, Laos

4.5 (264 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Tha Heua Bodies of Water

Best way to travel between Luang Prabang and Chiang Khong

We took the two day cruise from Chiang Khong to Luang Prabang and loved every moment of it. The boat was fitted out with very comfortable seats, a clean bathroom and great atmosphere. Viewing the sights of the Mekong from a traditional boat such as this was one of the highlights of our trip. The food was also excellent. Highly recommended and especially if you aren't quite up for the public boats and can't afford the expensive Luangsay Cruise.

    See Life on the Mekong River
    I went to the Mekong area from Saigon with a guide and he accompanied me on a half-day tour of the area. It was impressive. They showed me traditional crafts, food for sale being made, including chocolate and coconut candy, took me on a dugout canoe through the canals, on a horse and buggy, to listen to local singers, and to a temple. They do shuffle the tourists through pretty efficiently, and while I got a whiff of commercialism, it seemed authentic enough to make the trip. They worry climate change will flood the area in 10 years or so, so this will be a thing of the past.
