A Scam
I contacted Vietlong travel to make the 3 day trip from Chiang Mai (Thailand) to Luang Prabang. The only thing that this company saw in me, was money. They were just trying to make the most possible money out of me. I have paid 175 US$ per person for a transfer by minibus from Chiang Mai to Chiang Khong, a transfer by minibus from the hotel in Chiang Khong to the Laos Border, a transfer from the boarder to the slowboat and the slowboat. Just to give you an idea : the slowboat costs 12 US$ per day!!! I asked to make 2 stops (on the trip from Chiang Mai to Chiang Khong) and I had to pay 20 US$ extra!!! For what? for the use of the brake? On top of that, they were constantly lying about the prices and the services provided.
