Thailand And Laos Journey: 43. Chiang Khong Accommodation Booked

Thailand and Laos (and Myanmar if I can manage it)

Hello, Sawatdee kaa and Sabai dee,

My next trip will be Thailand and Laos, and this is all about the before, the trip and the after - similar to my Malaysia/Cambodia blog. I am putting together from start to finish - tickets, do's and don'ts, tours, where to stay, places to see, things to do, as well as useful extras like transport, good places to eat, what to wear, climate, tourist traps, tricks and tips and whatever else I can think of that will be useful.

If you have any tips or advice, please, feel free to leave a comment and add your bit - whatever you think may be helpful or interesting.
Cheers.

43. Chiang Khong Accommodation Booked

Well I have sent an email to Mr Adisak of the Nagi of Mekong booking one night's accommodation at Baan Nai Sra for the 15th February. I also asked about how to get there. I will be departing Chiang Mai by bus in the morning and I've been informed you get the bus to Chiang Rai then another bus to Chiang Khong. Getting from Chiang Khong to the village of Baan Nai Sra is in the "I don't know" basket. When I receive confirmation regarding both (ie accommdoation and transport detail) I will post it on this blog.

From their Nagi website, the cost for the cruise is THB.4,600 (twin sharing) with a single occupancy surcharge of THB. 600 which brings the amount to 5,200 Baht.

The accommodation room rate including full breakfast for two people is THB.1,000 per bungalow / night.
Unlimited tea & coffee and drinking water are provided free of charge.

And it says people who also book the Nagi of Mekong cruise to Luang Prabang will be transferred to the Thai immigration office in Chiang Khong at no additional cost.

The package is 5,300 Baht plus 1,000 Baht for single occupancy. This is higher than I had originally planned but what the heck - the place looks nice and I might never come this way again.
