Bright and early, we tried to get to Nong Khiaw. However, it appears the songthew doesn't leave until 9 o'clock so we went back to our hotel room to wait. At 9, we caught the songthew accompanied by some friendly American girls and chatted most the way to Nong Khiaw.
We checked out a few places to stay when Christine remembered reading that most guesthouses were over the river. We crossed the bridge and there they were. The setting of the village is awesome! Huge mountain backdrops, beautiful river flowing through. A very relaxing place...
There is a few 'adventure' tour shops in town, as budding rock climbers can scale the nearby peaks. There are boat and kayak trips down the river which we may be tempted by....
We ate lunch at a quaint little Indian restautant which was so good, then went for a relaxing stroll as we had eaten too much. We played with a cute puppy in the street but he was too bitey (real made up word). We chatted to Oli and Charli who are travelling on their honeymoon by motorbike. Oh, yes ... we ate again at the Indian restaurant as it was irresistable...
