(Chiang Khong Hill Resort) |
Route: Uttaradit to Chiang Khong
Distance: 425 km (6:27)
Hotel: Chiang Khong Hill Resort
Complimentary breakfast of toast with butter and jam and coffee.
Checked out by 8.00 am. Visited Uttaradit Ad-Da-Ei Mosque not far from the hotel. Met two muslim brothers from Pattani having breakfast at the mosque.
This morning we drove north heading towards Chiang Kong, another Thailand/Laos border crossing. Passed through Phrae and stopped at Restaurant Abang Air Muslim Food. The last time we came here in 2022, the restaurant was closed because of PKP.
Continued our journey and stopped in Phayao at Kanita Halal Food for nasi kuning daging and Noodle beefballs for lunch. We drove to Masjid Jamiul Islam for solat jamak. Next to the mosque is a muslim restaurant. The owner is from Yala and speaks fluent Malay. We packed fried rice and omellete for tonight's dinner. From previous experience, there is no halal eateries in Chiang Khong.
On the way to Chiang Khong, by chance we saw signage of a mosque by the route 1020 in Thoeng. We made a brief stop at Masjid Al-Rahmaniah and took some pictures of the mosque.
Arrived in Chiang Khong around 4.30 pm and drove to Chiang Khong Border Crossing at the Thai/Laos Friendship Bridge. We have been through this crossing several times in the past.
Checked in Chiang Khong Hill resort, at RM82/night. It is a beautiful resort located on a hill with scenic panoramic view of the mountains, the busy water transports of Mekong river and Laos across the other side of the riverbank.
