I did a turn around visa run at the lao border in mohan a month ago. very smooth, I crossed the border, bought a bottle of whiskey and crossed back. I did not pay to enter Lao. The bus ride from jinghong to the border is 3.5-4 hours each way.
I'll be at the KM hat too

JH to Mohan takes 3 to 3.5 hours
Did this run two weeks ago, at that time a flight to Jinghong was the same price as a bus ticket, so I flew. From JH, there is one direct bus daily to Mohan, it leaves at 920am and returns after 3pm (3:50 maybe) (61rmb each way). The bus station in Mohan is only 1km from the border and yes, you can do a turnaround run. If you miss the one bus, there are many buses between Jinghong, Mengla and Mohan.
here is a link to the place on Baidu maps for those using Chinese servers:

I can't speak to the education quality of the school but:
The soccer/football/frisbee field has grass and is fairly well maintained
Getting here on the 84 bus is a snap (from Yunda, Xiaoximen), the gate is right accross the street from the 上马村 bus stop.
My room was part of a suite with polite neighbors in the other rooms. High above the walking mall of Wangfujing, the place is elegant, clean and the location cannot be beat if you are coming to Kunming for travel or business. It was great to have a living room and kitchen and all the amenities of an apartment and the manager speaks English quite-well and was really helpful. The whole experience made me felt like I was home in Kunming, not just traveling. This place is a little more expensive than a hotel, but you get a lot more.

Kunming to offer visa-free transit stays
Posted byThis is big news if you are planning an event. For the ultimate frisbee tournament, this would mean that we could draw folks living in HK, lao, vietnam to play for the weekend. As it stands if people in Hanoi want to particpate is means paying a pretty hefty visa fee.
Homebrewed beer just outside of Kunming
Posted bydoes that park at the end of the 10 bus line have a name or a GoK write up? I think that could be a nice day to combine the two, though I haven't been to that park in a while. I seem to remember a flying tiger museum up there too or am I making that up?

Kunming to host ultimate frisbee hat tourney
Posted byYou do not need to register for disc golf, the idea is that most folks will play when their ultimate games are done. The play is mapped out, but will be pretty imformal (with prizes of course). The discs will be on sale throughout the days, but Yikun is not sending a rep.
