Escape the heat and travel to Laos

You can also visit Laos for a day trip. This trip, we crossed the Mekong River from Nakhon Phanom to visit Thakhek, Khammouan Province, Lao PDR, which is on the opposite side. Getting there is not difficult. We came on a weekday. The border crossing fee was only 36 baht per person (you can stay for 3 days and 2 nights). The boat fare was 60 baht per person. The ride was very short. When we landed in Laos, we had to pay a 100 baht land landing fee per person. If there were many of us, we could hire a three-wheeled vehicle to take us around. The price would be 800-1,000 baht, depending on our bargaining skills. However, there were only 2 of us, so it wouldn't be worth it to hire a three-wheeled vehicle, so we rented a motorbike instead. The price was 250-300 baht per day. Tha Frang is only 15-16 kilometers from Thakhek. Be careful when riding a motorbike, because people ride on the right side of the road here. There are a lot of trucks on this route because it is the route to the Vietnamese border, which is only 150 kilometers away. The reason this place is called Tha Frang is because during the World War The French soldiers used this river to transport food supplies to this port, so Lao people called it Tha Farang. In addition to Tha Farang, this route also has many other tourist attractions. Come and visit. #Where to travel this summer #Tha Farang
