“LUANGSAY”
MAEKHONG RIVER TRIP

Programme Outline

A 2 Day and 1 Night cruise down the Maekhong River
from opposite
Chiang Khong
(in the Golden Triangle)
to Luang Phrabang

Introduction
Luang Phrabang was originally within the LAN NA (million rice field) Kingdom that is now Northern Thailand. Old Thailand hands declare it to be much as Chiang Mai was 50 years ago. To journey from Chiang Mai along THE OLD TRADE ROUTE through Ban Thaton, Chiang Rai, (the Golden Triangle) Chiang Saen, Chiang Khong and then on down to Luang Phrabang, is to quite literally, travel back through the pages of La Na history.

For many years we at Track of the Tiger have waited patiently for the right opportunity, the right operator, to provide a reliable and  safe programme along this route that would appeal to our own typical client group.

We believe Mekong Land’s  LUANGSAY trip does just that..........
