    I think the water level varies a lot - when I was there I was very impressed with the skill of the captain (in a smaller boat - max about 25 passengers, no cabins) and the difficulty in maneuvering between the rocks is considerable. I am surprised that a boat as big as shown in the video can manage this fast moving river. A great experience!

    A very impressive set up, and beautifully documented trip.
    I made this trip 25 years ago with another company in the opposite direction, with an overnight stop in their private lodge from Huai Say to Luang Prabang.
    Luang Say Cruises, have a very similar but smaller boat, running South from Champasak, which I first came across under construction in Luang Prabang about 30 years ago.
    Well worth the trip, if you ever get the chance, to see a piece of the natural unspoilt world.

    I flew into Houey Sai in July 1972 from Luang Prabang on a C-47 Passenger plane. Tried to cross the mekong, but was told the border was closed. We bribed a boatman & crossed in the dark. We didn't pay a bribe so someone was shooting at us. I think it was more to scare us. We arrived at the thai side at midnite. It was a bizarre journey.

It will hopefully be one of the highlights of our travelling life we already experienced in south-east asia. The company will be Heritage-Line. ( also doing lower mekong tours and did tours on the Irrawaddy river in myanmar,but due to obvious reasons not anymore.)
