Day 223: Border Town

Post from Michelle & Tim:

Though we have enjoyed our month in Chiang Mai, it is time to say good-bye to our familiar surroundings and move on to new places.

On today's 7.5-hour bus ride - a ride plagued by the choking smoke of a burned out transmission - we miraculously arrived to the northern Thai border town of Chiang Kong. Tomorrow we cross the Mekong River, enter Laos, and take the slow boat to a small town called Pakbeng.
