Thailand - Laos crossing
4 februari, Thailand ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
On Sunday 4th was the start of my overland crossing from Thailand into Laos 🇱🇦
I got picked up at around 8.15am, where a minibus took us from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai where we stopped for lunch/to look at the white temple. As we only had 40 minutes I opted for my lunch and then just a quick look outside the temple!!
We then left Chiang Rai and went to the Thai - Laos border crossing (Friendship bridge).
The process was smooth - we had to fill out a visa form, attach a photo of ourselves and pay $40. I met two really nice Irish people during this process :)
Once across the border (by foot), I then got into a very very crowded tuk tuk 🛺 which brought me to a bus station.
I met my friend Emily (thank god), as the bus had very small double beds.. which we had to share! After the tourists got on, they then proceeded to pile a lot of locals on who had to sit in the aisles!! We also got handed plastic bags before getting on the bus (which confused us), but we then realised they were for our shoes!!
We left around 6.30 pm - with many many stops along the way (searches by police along the way as well as stops to let locals off), we arrived in Luang Prabang Laos at around 6am on Monday 5th February.Läs mer

Luang prabang, Laos
5 februari, Laos ⋅ 🌙 13 °C
The night bus was a bumpy ride. We arrived at around 6am on Feb 5th, 20 minutes outside of the town!!! So we had to pay for a tuk tuk, who wouldn't even drop to hostels, so had a further 15 min walk!!
I stayed at Funny riverside hostel.
It had an amazing view of the river from the decking, such a lovely setting.
Activities:
- Kuang Si waterfalls (really beautiful) - the journey there consisted of a driver who took double the time as he kept stopping/slowing down to answer his phone!!!
- Pub crawl that ended in an infamous bowling alley and very weird nightclub!!
- Sunset river cruise
- Walking around and exploring the town
- Night markets
Ate at:
- Zurich cafe
- Joma bakery
- La silapa Italian and Lao restaurant
- Night markets
I left on Thursday 8th with Emily and a guy called Will, to go to Vang Viang on the Chinese bullet train!! - we ended up spending 4 hours at the train station due to the hostel booking us onto the incorrect train :(
A very strict train station , which required us to go through security when entering, and getting rid of any aerosols!!Läs mer
