Thanks for the video! Really helpful and has encouraged us to try this route. Does the boat from Nong Khiaw run everyday? I've heard it is dependent on number people travelling
There’s no regular boat but they will go if there are enough people, we do remember someone mentioned minimum 4 people but they will take 2 people for the right price. Just need to sign up the day before at the pier. We do not recommend if you are running out of time in your visa to speculate with this boat, keep yourself couple of days extras.
That long bus journey is still one of the most common routes between the two countries (if not flying). We hope this video help people find the less traveled route.
Hello! We took the boat from the port next to our hotel which was called Arthith Guesthouse, it’s near the bridge. More info can be found on our blog: couplenomads.com/nong-khiaw-ultimate-guide-boat-to-vietnam. Hope you enjoy Nong Khiaw ☺️
Based on the view and the balcony railing we stayed at the same guesthouse 😊
Great info TY
👍

12 years ago, before smartphones, we didn’t know anything so we took the bus from Vientiane to Hanoi, took us at least 30 hours 😢

Where in Nong Khiaw do we go to book that boat? Is it a tour agency that runs the slow boat to Muang Khua?
