Board the Shompoo cruise after an early breakfast and sail further upstream towards Houay Xai village. The village is located right at the border between Laos and Thailand. Gently follow the Mekong River towards Houay Xai and stop on the way at a local hill tribe village. Observe the local way of life and try to connect with the local people by starting a conversation. Lunch is served on board afterwards while the boat continues to follow the river upstream. In the late afternoon you arrive at Houay Xai. Take a TukTuk from here (by yourself) and drive to the border crossing with Thailand. Meet your new driver on the Thai side in Chiang Khong and transfer to your hotel.
