Which Jing Hong bus station serves Laotian towns?
Thanks for the info, everyone. I'm most concerned about buying a ticket in Laos, where I don't speak the language. But if others do it, I can do it, I suppose.
Details, please?
Does anyone know if it's possible to take bus from Jing Hong to Luang Namtha in Laos, then another bus from Luang Namtha to Chiang Mai in Thailand?
No results found.
I've stayed here many times over the years and been very satisfied. Central location, comfortable rooms, reasonable prices. Some might mind the noise from the Bad Monkey Bar across the street, but I've always been able to sleep. The staff is very helpful with bus tickets, excursion tickets and the like.
Does anyone know if this is still a going concern? Or destroyed by the fire?
One of my favorite places in Jing Hong! It's my landmark, the center of the hotel, restaurant, bike, etc., area. I discovered dark Beer Lao there!
But getting to the S. bus station takes another hour....

China's upscaling of potato production sprouts controversy
Posted byIt's only in S. China that potatoes are yang yu 洋芋 or foreign root. In the North, they are tu dou 土 豆 earth bean. Yunnan people eat more potatoes than in most parts of China, but they are definitely a major part of Dong Bei cuisine also.
As for storage, in the Andean Plateau of Peru and Bolivia, the homeland of the potatoe, people sun dry them or freeze dry them, much as Dong Bei people do with cabbages and onions at the beginning of Winter.
The Andes have many varieties which have never been taken elsewhere. Maybe the Chinese ag. authorities can change that!
