Please note that this is not a luxury travel package. The accommodation provided in Chiang Kong is basic although you will find it clean and you will have your own bathroom and hot shower.(NOTE we now offer an upgraded accommodation package with a night at The Namkong Riverside hotel) The transport on the Mekong is by a traditional cargo boat which has been adapted to carry passengers. The seating often consists of wooden benches which can become a bit uncomfortable after a seven hour stretch on the Mekong River so please be prepared for this. We suggest bringing a cushion. Some days the boats can be quite comfortable with an open deck so you can kick back and relax. The type of boat you get depends on the day you travel. This package does not include accommodation in Pakbeng. You have to find this yourself. However there are plenty of guesthouses in Pakbeng catering to all budgets and you will find nearly all of them within a few minutes walk of the boat pier. If you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact us. Most of the staff at The Travel Hub have done this trip so we are sure we can answer your questions.
