Great report and great photos. Thanks so much. Was at FS Golden Triangle recently and was debating between a boat ride down the Mekong to Amantaka or a flight to Amanpuri. Couldn't decide until they day before departure and having been to Amanpuri many times could not resist the attraction. Sounds like maybe I should have tried Amantaka. Next trip maybe I'll fly to Chiang Rai, skip FS, and take the boat to Luang Prabong.
Anybody done the boat trip BTW?
