Probably the most popular means of transport are boats (speed and slow boats, freighters, luxury cruisers for tourists and others) running down the Mekong to Pakbeng, Luang Prabang and other destinations.
Pak Beng (Lao: ປາກແບ່ງ) is a small village in Laos, located on the Mekong River about halfway between the Thai border at Huay Xai and Luang Prabang, Laos.
It is the northernmost border crossing of the country into Laos (with Houayxay on the opposite shore of the Mekong).
