1 entry for Huay Xai Laos |
Land borders are always a bit sketchy. They know tourists have no other option so you kinda have to accept their terms. I've heard horror stories about other borders, but this one wasn't too bad, other than the bus to tuk tuk to bus to shuttle dance. Huay Xai is a small village, and most people just stay here in transit to their next destination. Something I've learned on my first day in Laos: food portions are way bigger than in Thailand.
