Mohong Favorites

Favorite thing: Hitchhike is one of the way to get from Boten to other towns as shown here in photo. I did this because there's no transportation at all when I arrived, I had to do this but late it rains and I was trapped inside a hut restaurant beside the bus station for nearly 2 hours until at last a tuk-tuk came from somewhere to send us to Luang Namtha, I paid some thousands of cash for that.

Favorite thing: Do not turn away! This tip is very important for tourists to recognise how much contrast difference in only a border to see the way of clean toiltets from the two countries separated by a line. You probably don't understand what am I trying to say, I want to say to you that the Laos peoples have their toilets at least one million times clean than over peoples had at the other border I came from.

Favorite thing: Right at the check point has this thing placed nicely to show us the distance to get to Nateuy 19kms. Nateuy is a small town in within Boten and Luang Namtha, so one can either get a truck bus tuk-tuk to Nateuy or directly to Luang Namtha.

Favorite thing: Now after you completed your passport chop and stamp thing, you walk out from the custom office to see another check point. This one is slightly simpler to check whether you enter Laos legally or you try to sneak in. After this check point, you are free like a bird and nobody there to chase you anymore for money exchange or buses, you have to look for buses your own, continue to my next tip.

Favorite thing: Visa on arrival is anytime welcome. One just have to pay money amount US$40 cash to the officer (excuse me, not bribe the officer) to obtain an on-the-spot-Visa. I did mine in Kunming cost me slight cheaper around US$30. I don't like this but what can you do?

Above is the url for anyone interested in build Boten tips instead of Mohong. I don't want to build another page just because of this political border reason, so I only have Mohong. My photo here is Boten's Laos custom office. I needed a short queue and passport scrutiny, same thing globally.

Favorite thing: Very important tip of the very last is to snap a very common view of anything, so I got a roll of shops of Mohong as last for readers to enjoy the happiness of travelling Mohong by l_joo and I hope you like the tip.

Favorite thing: Tip 6 shows my travelling partner in over excited mood of a memorable post by stepping on the line of border for nothing but sheer enjoyment of travelling. I had mine taken too uploaded in my intro page similar with one leg here and one over the line.
