Travels around Luang Namtha, Laos




For the second day I rented a motorbike. In the morning I took highway 3 west towards Huay Xai. Great road as it had no traffic, was well paved and surrounded by mountains. The only thing I had to worry abut were pigs and chickens crossing the road. Why? The highway abruptly turns to dust 15 Km. This is where the contruction continues another 100 km to Huay Xai. I travelled on it for a bit, but the dust was too much.

I took some side roads which were always unpaved. I drove through several black thai villages. The motorbike is the best way to get around. It cost $5/day and gas is only $3/gallon.

Tomorrow I am off to Huay Xai and Thailand.
