After Muang Ngoy, you can only get there by boat. We checked in and set off for a hike to a waterfall (which is actually back towards Nong Khiaw), walked past it, turned around,...

We have become a small group in Khiaw. Mark and I traveled on the same day by minivan to different accommodations, and Freddi took the same van as I did. I had dinner with...
