Hello folks;
Currently in Luang Prabang, ending our mini tour of Laos. I have a question, after hearing the Huay Xai crossing faff we want to use the border south of Pak Beng instead. From Luang Prabang the best route is down the Highway 4 then cross the Mekong at Muang Thadua. Has anyone done this river crossing? Is it just little canoes or a slightly bigger vehicle boat? I know the crossing at Pak Beng is fairly major but going that way is a 300km D-tour and I can just cut across this way.
Many thanks
Oli
