📌 Client Notes:
Bokeo International Airport is a small regional airport — confirm arrival flight details in advance, as onward connections to Chiang Khong can take time.
Border crossing at Chiang Khong/Houei Xay involves both Thai exit and Lao entry formalities — carry passport-sized photos and visa fees in USD/THB cash for Visa on Arrival.
Cruise departs by 09:30 hrs latest — early start required; guide will confirm exact pickup time the night before.
No dinner included today — Pakbeng has limited but decent dining options near the pier and hotels.
The Shompoo Cruise is a full-day journey with limited onboard facilities — bring sun protection, a light jacket for the evening, and any personal medication.
