Indo China 8 : Xepon - Si Sa Ket

20/12/2003
Xepon - Seno - Savannaketh - Pakse - Border Laos/Thailand - Mukdahan - Si Sa Ket.
Distance - 600km.
Hotel - Promphiman Hotel, Si Sa Ket.
Remark - We arrived Savannaketh about 12.00 noon and supposed to exit Laos via Savannaketh/Mukdahan. But the Immigration and Custom on Thailand side closed gate due to local festival. Then we rang Embassy asking for opinion and they said only border at Vientiane and Pakse opened. Vientiane too far north and Pakse only 230km south. Decided to go south and must be there before 6.00pm. All rushing to Pakse and managed to exit Laos just before border closed.

Xepon to Seno.

Savannaketh to Pakse.

Chongmek to Si Sa Ket.
