It’s pouring with rain. Catch the bus from Huay Xai to Pak Mong. Sadly it’s a stupid sleeper bus. I hate them. You share a bed with someone and they are not designed for looking out the window, which is the best part of bus travel. I can understand using theses buses at night but no I during the day. Takes me 10 hours and I arrive at Pak Mong around 9.30pm. Fortunately there is a guesthouse close by.
