I heard it's better to go to Chiang Kong (Thailand) and then cross over the river, because due to the current you can then get to Luang Prabang and Vientiane much quicker by boat than doing it the other way around.

I haven't actually done this, but have been to Chiang Kong which was well worth a visit. I've also been to Vientiane which was pretty forgettable.

I aim to go to Luang Prabang one day, but the air fares seem a right rip off.
