This is an easy adventure, but it will cost you a short boat ride from the Imperial Golden Triangle Resort, a popular tourist hotel in Thailand's tri-border area, across the Mekong River. This is a safe location, frequented by tourists. If you get as far as the Golden Triangle Resort, you need to go the extra mile just to say you did it. Bring your passport!
The Lao beer is pretty good, but if you want a real treat, try the rice whiskey with the pickled cobra, or there is even something worse. You'll have to see for yourself.

IMPORTANT NOTE! As of 1st January 2024, after a 3-month transitioning period, the original logging task will permanently be replaced with the new one below! While the idea of sending a postcard as proof of your visit is wonderful and rather unique, sharing an address online clashes with current privacy concerns, and is no longer the preferred option.
NEW logging task;
- Take a selfie (optional) and/or a photo of a thumbs-up, peace-symbol (V) or personal item with "snake medicine" clearly showing in the back, and another of the Done Xao market area.
