Good report Ben. You really enjoy your GTR dinner hook ups.
Thanks everyone who came it was a good night, especially with the boat trip - top value and fun to do in Chiang Khong.

I appreciated all the sympathy for my bruises & bike repairs necessary.

The rendezvous spot at the Tha Pha Tan pier is a beauty & unique on the Mekong: Google Maps


There is nowhere on the 'Khong where you can drive to the river & park your car or bike beside the river on a nice big concrete pad like at Chiang Khong. Then sit, eat & drink right beside the river. Everywhere else you have to negotiate a dirt track or sandy beach, and / or the restaurant is high up on the the river bank. Tha Phatan in Chiang Khong is 5-star by that mighty river for a one-star price. Don't miss it

Should you want to do a nice little sunset boat trip on the Mekong @ Chiang Khong, then "Captain Jack Sparrow" is the man to contact. He knows all the tricks, hot spots to stop & the best photo ops.

You can contact him at the BBQ restaurant on the Tha Phatan pier.

He runs his riverside restaurant with his wife & family. They are wonderful people.

For the guys who come, if you want to add a comment or two with a few pics you are most welcome to join in.

This month February Wednesday 27th February = Piang Luang for the GTR up country rendezvous.
