The Emerald Triangle 1/3

Yes, there's a returning "Candle Floats" truck — from my last project for the Geographic Magazine featuring on documentary on the unbeknownst Candle Floats Carnival of Northerneast Thailand a couple days prior — bumping into us and tailgating our chartered coach while we were racing on highway crossing the border for my back-to-back assignment in Laos!

Champasak can be reached from Thailand through the Chong Mek border crossing, at Vang Tao, from where the highway leads east towards the city of Pakxe 

Crossing the border at Chong Mek is relatively straightforward, as there are large border posts on both sides of the border, as well as large outdoor markets. It is possible to obtain a Lao visa from this border post, and Thai baht and American dollars are widely accepted for purchases on the Lao side of the border.
