We would not dare to go to the Golden Triangle cruise boat if we were not accompanied by a local guide. When you come to the dock, you need to apply for a temporary visa. In fact, you just pay some money and stamp your passport. The tour guide will help you with all this. There weren't many people on the cruise ship. We paid two people's tickets and chartered a boat. About 15 minutes upstream of the Mekong River, and then boarded Kapok Island opposite Laos. The island has a beautiful view, full of kapok, but after landing on the island, it was shocked. It sells all fake and inferior goods, and many of them are made in China. I don't know whether it's funny or angry. In fact, today's Golden Triangle travel is very safe, don't worry.
