Muong Khiaw to Luong Prabang

Muong Khiaw has similar scenery to Muong Ngoi Neua and is very
beautiful and pretty rustic. There were some new bungalows on the
banks of the river and I think it would be worth hanging around if you
have time. There are boats continuing south to Luong Prebang for
100,000kip if there are 10 or more people. There is a minibus waiting
at the boat dock to take people to the bus station a kilometer or two
away for 5000kip. From there you catch the public bus to Luong Prebang
at 11:30 for 40,000kip. I think the bus is the way to go. The drive is
really nice with beautiful scenery and very rural villages and the
road is paved with not much traffic. You see the same scenery as the
boat, the bus is half the price, takes half the time and is more
comfortable. Plus you kinda see more cause you actually go through
the villages. Boat travel is nice but I had already done it twice so
it was nice to drive.
