Take This Two-Day River Cruise on the Mekong Before It's Gone! (Laos Adventure)
Hey adventurers, get ready to pack your bags for a once-in-a-lifetime river cruise!
We recently embarked on an incredible two-day journey along the majestic Mekong River, from the Thai border at Chiang Khong to the charming town of Luang Prabang, Laos. And let me tell you, it was one of the most unforgettable experiences we've had! (PS - you can also do this cruise in reverse if that better suits your travels.)
In today's video, we're spilling all the details on how to plan your own Mekong River cruise, including:
Choosing the right cruise company: There are a few different cruise companies operating on the Mekong, each with its own unique style and itinerary. We'll share our tips on how to pick the perfect one for you.
Booking your cruise: Once you've chosen a company, we'll guide you through the booking process and what to expect.
Border Crossing: Everything you need to know about crossing the border from Thailand into Laos.
Onboard activities and food: There are three "shore excursions" to enjoy, but mostly you get to relax on deck and enjoy delicious meals. We'll give you a glimpse of what you can expect onboard.
The cost of the cruise: We'll break down the costs involved in a Mekong River cruise, so you can budget accordingly.
But wait, there's more!
Did you know that several new dams are planned to be built along the Mekong River? This means that this incredible cruise experience might not be available for much longer! 😱
So, if you're looking for a relaxing, adventurous, and unique way to explore Laos, this is the perfect opportunity. Don't miss out on this incredible river cruise before it's gone!

    Hey Guys. Just wanted you to know that as Platinum members with NCL, you get EACH one free bag of laundry. It is not marked on the page. We have been Platinum for two cruises now and they told us we each get a free bag of laundry. it is something not really known. we just had to write our name and platinum number on the bag. So 1 bag is good but 2 is better for long trips. We have a transatlantic in a few weeks and we will use both bags for a two week cruise.

    • @tendegreeswarmer

      This is a great tip that we did not know about ourselves until recently. But wait, it gets even better! If you take a longer cruise (I'm not sure what the limit is but both the 12 and 14 day B2B cruises we just finished qualified) you each get TWO bags of free laundry. So for our 26 day cruise we could have done 8 bags of laundry for free! We did not need that many, but it is still a very nice perk, and you are totally correct it is not widely advertised. Thank you for sharing! 😀👍

      As far as we know the tour is return to the airport only, I wouldn’t think they would drop you at a hotel. But I guess you could always ask? I think we showed the schedule in the video, I don’t remember what time the last tour is, we returned just at dusk but we weren’t on the last tour of the day. Touring at night would be a different experience but still could be interesting i think! 😁 If you do it let us know what you thought about it!

      This is the same as it was for us. We made our booking only about two weeks before we wanted to go so we emailed them and texted them with their WhatsApp number - we got a faster response on WhatsApp for what that’s worth. Many similar small businesses in Asia don’t work with booking software because they just aren’t big enough to need it, you just talk to them and book your dates directly.

    About the mystery fees: I remember those very well! On the Thai border we paid them, but regretted it afterwards. When we crossed the Laos/Cambodja border we stood our ground and refused to pay the mystery fee. It took about 30 minutes of discussion but eventually we got through. This kind of corruption (because that's what it is) really gets me worked up and is one of the reasons why we dislike crossing the land borders in those countries now.

    Sounds like a great adventure. Do you usually keep a small stash of US money “just in case” around the world?

    • @tendegreeswarmer
      @tendegreeswarmer Місяць тому

      Good question, we keep much less USD on hand than we used to have to, cause it so rarely is needed most places. But we do keep some with us just in case for situations like this. And it sure paid off here!

    Disneyfest Singapore 1997. ♥ Violet Crumble all the way!!! Now I want to go hunt down some Violet Crumble. Merry Christmas you two.

      We found Violet crumble in Kuala Lumpur and most recently in Luong Prabong Laos which was exciting. But they are still hard to find in most places. They always bring me back to Singapore 1997!! 😄

      We’ve been traveling full time for two years, why would we give up delicious burgers? 😄 What’s the food you wouldn’t want to give up even when you’re traveling?

    I want to know what 26 days of cruising is like! I just got off the NCL Star, a repo cruise from Lisbon to Buenos Aires, and it was an amazing time. It was 17 days...and even though I loved it, around day 13 I felt like I was ready for it to be over. I'm envious you're doing the Africa cruise...I looked at that itinerary and asked on the boat about possibly doing it next year but they said, as you mentioned in your video, that this will be the last one. So...can't wait to hear about it. I'd also be interested in hearing about what the transition is like to living back in Vegas and working. Happy Holidays!

    • @tendegreeswarmer
      @tendegreeswarmer Місяць тому

      We were THISCLOSE to being on that cruise to South America with you. Sadly I think NCL has canceled that itinerary as well going forward ☹️. Thanks for the ideas, we’re gonna share lots about our Africa cruise and cruising in general. Repositioning cruises are often a great option for long term travelers. This will be our second time taking back to back cruises but if we get bored or antsy we’ll talk about that too 😄

    Our son's girlfriend really wants to go to Disney, this might be a great option for them for cheaper lodging.

    • @tendegreeswarmer

      We had a much nicer place for a better price than we would have paid closer in to Paris, and we were close to the park, so for us it was a win/win! 😁

    I was very pleased with your vlog about Stopover travel in Qatar - which I took avantage of on my way home to Aus from Camino Frances in November. Loved the tour! It was so HOT! So any tips along those lines (if you are going there you can do this too!) is always something I am going to appreciate

    • @tendegreeswarmer

    Exciting news. With so many nomads experiencing a degree of burnout over the past few years, would you say you’re a little burnt out? Do you have a place to stay lined up in LV or are you going to do local housesits to save on housing costs? For future videos, perhaps discussing how you plan your future FIRE life and if that includes nomad travel, long term staying in one spot in a cheap country, or, like Lisle Van Rhuman, maybe you plan to follow the spring.

    • @tendegreeswarmer
      @tendegreeswarmer Місяць тому

      I don’t think burn out is the right word, but we are tired. A long stay anywhere would address that but that includes going home again. We have found a great opportunity on a furnished place to stay which was also part of the equation, since furnishing a new place could have been an expensive proposition. Thanks for the ideas on future videos! We try to follow summer where we can, but I guess spring is ok too 🤣🤣🤣
