Before you ask anymore questions requesting help & advice why don't your contribute some road & trip reports with info for the roads that you have been on in Laos / North Thailand / Vietnam?
You’ve been asked this before & you don’t put anything back in.
The wonderful photos you posted a few weeks ago are a cop-out on hard road data. You were asked for some info on the road from Pha Volo to Longcheng which you claimed to have done, but you could not be bothered to reply with some info.
Now you asking for info on the HX – LNT road.
You only get minus brownie points for this, so please do yourself a favour & put something back in. Your English is good enough so there are no excuses.

I am leaving for Chiang Khong and Huay Xai tomorrow and will be heading north to Luang Nam Tha probably on Tuesday. I WILL be doing a report but probably not for another 2 weeks when I return from Phongsali area. Won't do you friends much good, but I will keep an eye out for them. Also a few others headed that way this week and next week.

For fans of Hwy No 3, Luang Namtha to Huay Xai or vice versa, here's some very wet season pictures.

Huay Xai to Luang Nam Tha is doable right now if you like riding in a construction zone 183 km long. The first half to Veing Phouka is still dusty and you have to put up with a lot of truck traffic. Some areas are cleared up to four lanes wide, dirt, while other areas you are still riding "goat tracks". No real logic to how they are working the road, but is definately dirty and dusty. Some areas had signs warning that the road would be closed for 15 minute periods while they worked in the road. We were stopped once while they cleared and moved dirt around with road graders. Don't even think about trying it if there is rain.
From Vieng Phouka north, many of the water crossings have had temporary bridges constructed but there are still a few streams where you are going to get wet. Also most of the log bridges have now been covered with dirt. I think only about 3 are left that you need to be careful crossing.
It is a full days ride to make it all the way to Luang Nam Tha and then we found that many backpackers seem to be going there and most of the guesthouses were full.
