We arrived at Chiang Khong around 9pm local time... After negotiating route 1129 in the dark, cold and twisty road.. From the hotel Parking lot we could see there some cars with Chinese registration plate. They're here during festive season... Chinese New Year.
Nothing much here as the town dead around 10pm.. Relaxing and chatting in the hotel room, balcony while enjoying the Mekong river view at night.
