this 2024 I read and just did it but we booked the slow boat to Laos with So Good airline service and Travel (agency) for 1490 Baht only because many people recommended this company on google and they were amazing. Everything was so smooth and they took care of everything – from dropping us off at the border, helping with the visa and dropping us off at the slow boat. We even got a sandwich included! I think it was very value for money.

Oh, my God!
Sometime after the new bridge was built between Chiang Kong, Thailand and Huay Xai, Laos, I started to get information that the slowboat stop had been moved, and now a few sources were pointing to where I said it was.
I don’t plan on traveling that way anytime soon, but I could have easily spread misinformation.
(Even OpenStreetMap – which I trust because the local information is often quite accurate, you can check it out on Maps.me, etc. – has misinformation on it.)
Thanks to you for correcting my mistake.
(It was a good thing I asked you the question).
