    Get the slow boat from here to Pakbeng and Luang Prabang. Ticket office is up some stairs, you need your passport number to purchase. 210,000 kip to Luang Prabang. Arrive around 10am to get a good seat, boat leaves at 11:30am but it started to fill up around 10:45am and it was more difficult for passengers to sort out their bags and find seats. Seat numbering system is made up, just sit anywhere.

    It's a landing point for the long tail boats that travel up & down the Mekong. Not a tourist attraction.

    Arrived in the late afternoon with 185 passengers on two boats. Stuffed them all on one smaller boat the next morning for the continuance of the journey from Huay Xai to Luang Prabang. We refused to board, stayed an extra day/night in Pak Beng and rode a much larger, nicer craft with tables on to Luang Prabang with two boats. HA !

    The pier is fine, the boat is easy to go into, there is some good restaurants pretty cheap nearby.

    Wobbly entrance and exit off the boat as you're standing on floating blocks of air connected to one another. The worst bit was the amount of pushy salesmen trying to offer you their hostel to stay at, or their bar to go to. Prepare yourself if you're heading here!

    Slow boat ticket office up the stairs on the left as you walk down the hill to the river. Opens at 8am. Closes around 4pm. 210,000 kip to Luang Prabang. Get there an hour or so early to get a decent seat. You really don't want to sit in the engine room for 7 hours
