info) Warnings: |
|
| 1.) | All boats leave when the boats get full. Go early. |
| 2.) | Since, the boats cannot run at night, they may stop at night even though they did not reach the destination. Expect to sleep overnight in the boat or a village near by. |
| 3.) | The speed boats have no roofs. The slow boats have roofs but they will not work against heavy rain. You have to have rain coats or jackets ready to use. don't put them in your backpacks, specially during rain season. |
| 4.) | The vibration of the speed boats are so large that you will get tired very much. The tick life jackets are useful to soften the vibration. If you can get a extra, put it under your body. |
| 5.) | When you are heading to Houexai or coming from it, You may stop by at Pak Ou Cave. Negotiate with the boat driver |
