I am off for my first solo SE Asia trip in September (at the age of 67). Trying get familiar with all options for the slow boat, where to stay the night before etc. Maddie you said you were picked up at 5:00am. What town did you set out from please. Thinking I will need to be in Huay Xai the night before???
I really like you video here !! So well done. I have a question, did you book this luxury boat ahead of time ? Or did you pick your boat the day you travelled. I guess I have a second question, did you have to book the hotel for day 1 overnight ? Or was it part of the luxury boat cost ? Thanks. ( New subscriber here. )
Hey there, I booked the boat ahead of time with my hostel, about 3 days prior, you can also book on their website Nagi of Mekong. You cannot book it the day of. The boat tour company will organize the hotel for you and it's included in the price. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching & being a subscriber ♥️
The most important thing you missed to mention is the price and the tour operator so I am sorry I did not get any info from you
Absolutely!
any coffee is better than no coffee... for a second it feel like an entitlement!

Hey Maddie:) Could you mention the company you did this with? Many thanks
Of course, I was with Nagi of the Mekong!! I hope you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching & being a subscriber 💛
Hey I am planning this same
Journey what is the cost?
It's around $150, and it's worth every penny to do the "luxury" option and not the public boat option. Thanks for watching and being a subscriber 💛

@@MaddieTravel - thank you for your reply. That helps us as we are planning this route for early 2025. Cheers
The videos of the public boats remind me of the start of Scarface.
Hahah yes!! I hope you enjoyed the video, thank you for watching & being a subscriber ♥️
They ask him if he has been in a mental institution and he says, Yes, on the boat here.
