Overview
Pakbeng Pier
Pakbeng sits midway between Huay Xai and Luang Prabang on the Mekong. As the river was once the only major transport route in the country, Pakbeng developed as an overnight stop for both cargo and passenger ferries. Set in a scenic spot where the Nam Beng flows into the Mekong (Pak means mouth and Beng is the name of the river), the town itself doesn’t have a lot to offer except a number of guesthouses and restaurants that have sprung up catering to travellers who almost all depart early the next morning.
Traditional pier with local workers helping the tourist with the luggage, children plenty and playful. Sometimes you can see the elephants taking a dip in the Mekong River.
