Day 40 - 41 Sunday- Monday 19th October 2009 Stacey says So we decided to head to Loas, which would be nice to see, but we don't have a whole lot of time to spend here, but it helps with our Thai visa extension as we only got 15 days coming in overland from Langkawi! Sunday we headed to Chaing khong at Midday, and arrived for 5pmish, and had dinner and drinks with 6 others that were on our bus, which was pretty cool.
