Huay Xai, Lao and Thai border
This is the destination of the two day boat trip from Luang Prabang to the Thai border. Until very recently the only way to cross from Laos to Thailand was via the small river ferries. With the opening of the Friendship Bridge all this has changed.
The Lao customs station once located here has moved to near the new bridge. Foreign travelers are no longer allowed to cross the border here.
