Mekong Slow Boat: Laos to Thailand…Was It Worth It?
Ep.197 We took the Shompoo Cruise upstream from Luang Prabang, Laos to Houay Xay at the Thai border, and we're giving you our honest verdict. Was it worth two days offline? We cover everything: the Pak Ou Caves, our overnight stay at Sanctuary Pakbeng Lodge, logistics on our Laos to Thailand border crossing, and our full cost breakdown.
We Don’t Revisit Cities. This One Changed That.
Ep.196 In three and a half years of full-time travel, we don’t go back to the same cities. We move forward. Until we visited Laos and Luang Prabang made us question that. This is the story of a place that stayed with us from the very first morning, a river journey that may not exist much longer, and the quiet realization that 16 days was never going to be enough.
