Next trip maybe I'll fly to Chiang Rai, skip FS, and take the boat to Luang Prabong.
Anybody done the boat trip BTW?
I asked Gary about the boat trip between the 2, & he says there isn't one.
Was contemplating boating to Amantaka fr FS tented camp too..
The boats we saw plying between Chiang Rai & LB while cruising the Mekong on Amantaka boats , I 'd rather not go on.
Rather than flying - tight plane fr BKK but manageable , but after say MOBKK & Amantaka , embarking & disembarking from the rear of an aircraft - well ..
They've had a few private jetting from Amanpuri so that's another alternative
