An enjoyable riverboat journey taking you along the mighty Mekong River from Luang Prabang to Northern Thailand, stopping overnight at Pakbeng. We make stops at the fascinating Pakou Caves and some villages en route. The pace of the river is very relaxed and you will find yourself taken in by the physical pull of the river. We stop over at Ban Houeilampen to visit the Hmong hill tripe people. They are very poor, but have an interesting culture and a colorful history. A perfect way to observe rural life close up!
