In the morning we caught a 3hr bus to Chiang rai, we caught a posh bus which cost a little more, although it was very comfortable! In Chiang rai we decided to jump straight on a another 3hr bus to take us to Chiang khong, this time we we got on a very old bus which although was hot and uncomfortable it was a lot more fun as every time it went over a tiny bump we were literally thrown off our seats! In Chiang khong we stayed in a bamboo hut, which was run by an old crazy rasta-thai man, and was very chiled out! The restaurant over-looked the Mekong river with Laos in the background, which added to the relaxing atmosphere!
