What a good idea don't trust in Michelin guide!

I decided to arrive by 1080 to Thai border and then back by 1081. I read in Michelin guide that I needed a whole day for this tour but I dind't trust in it. It's true: I spend 7 hours, without a stop. Kms are not so many but the raod is very winding, with very sharp curves. If you want to try you need a 4-wheel vehicole, then expect to climb up mountains and descend down a lot of times; on rainy season the road is dangerous. If you want to visit thai-lao market, remeber that the good day is saturday. But it's a wonderful tour; You see mountains like dragons that arrive in Laos and then to Yunnan. I recomned this tour, bur remember it's very hard to do.
