Unbelievable Boat Cruise Through Laos on the Mekong River!

We took the slow boat down the Mekong River in Laos to Luang Prabang! It was an incredible adventure and things got a little crazy at one point. The Mekong River 2 Day Slow Boat cruise on the Nagi of Mekong was the perfect introduction to Laos. Along the way we stopped at Hmong villages, drank lao lao or rice whiskey, spent the night in the small town of Pak Beng, visited the Pak Ou Caves and got stranded for a short period of time on the banks of the river during a huge storm. The Mekong River is the lifeblood of Southeast Asia providing people with fish, water for crops and a unique way of life. We started our journey in Chaing Khong, Thailand where we crossed the border in Laos and took a traditional long boat cruise.
