The electricity came back at 5am and the fact that I left the lights on before it went, meant that I was woken up by the light shining down on my face. These early mornings are tough but worth it I suppose. Breakfast was quick and we boarded our slow boat again and had a little bit of a sleep. After an hour or so of chat we all had dinner on the boat which consisted of rice, vegetables, pork and chicken. It cost us 48,000 kip ($1 usd=8,400 kip) which is expensive enough for what we got but it is a lot of money for the family who run the boat. The little girl on the boat was adorable and always laughing. The views on this journey are breath taking but it takes a long time to get to the border.
At the border we said our goodbyes to the family and we got our passports stamped before heading to our hotel in Chiang Kong which is the only crossing point into Laos in this part of Thailand. It was Priya’s last night so we went for dinner in a small restaurant. The food was ok but 2 cats kept looking for food at us!!! The Mossie’s here are ridiculous and everyone got bitten! Tomorrow we will travel to Chiang Mai so we are very much looking forward to that!
