We said goodbye to all the nice restaurant ladies who'd fed us over the last few days and again scored a ride in the back of a ranger's pick-up to the road where we sat for almost an hour waiting for a bus to pass by.
After flagging down the first bus we bus hopped our way from Nam Nao National Park to Khon Kaen to Udon Thani to Nong Khai, where Murphy's law struck: the first guesthouse was the best and cheapest, but we spent an hour with our packs charging around town checking out all the others!
In the evening we had a meal beside the Mekong River that marks the boundary between bright-lighted Thailand and much dimmer Laos - somewhere we'll be headed in about a week's time.
Adlibing it towards the Mekong.
