Chiang Khong and on into Laos.

Spent one night in Chiang Rai, at a "quite" guest house (150 baht). When I say quite, that was until about 5 in the morning when the traffic started, and kept us both awake. Anyway, we got up pretty early, considering the bad night's sleep, and headed for the Bus Station.

We got the 12 O'Clock bone-shaker bound for Chiang Khong, the small border town on the banks of the Mekong (not sure on the spelling here, both frowning). Anyway, spent last night at a guest house just 300 metres from the border crossing. We still have not decided how to do the crossing and trip down south. The slow boat which takes 2 days is more likely than the crazy 6 hour speed boat.

One more night here, and then we head off into Laos. Looking forward to it.
