We took the speed boat down the Mekong from the Thai border to Luang Prabang in Laos.

It's not recommended by the Lonely Planet, but we did not want to waste time on the slow boat, that takes two days.

It takes about 5 hrs of mainly flat out driving.

The boats are little more than a surf board with a car engine bolted on the back! Good fun!! ;-)

  • Those insane boats, almost forgot about them, old Taxi engines with their deadly propeller and speed, not to mention their poor maneuver skills among the huge stones/rocks just below the water surface. I would never ever do that again! Helmets and vests is for nothing in those silly wrecks at that speed. I do understand why Lonely Planet do not recommend them. Somewhat of an experience though!
