my friend I Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Hi Maybe this is the road that comes down through Laos to Huay Xai, opposite Chiang Khong. A lot of trucks on this road bringing coal to Lampang. No bridge so cross Mekhong on barges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mumbojumbo Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Hi Maybe this is the road that comes down through Laos to Huay Xai, opposite Chiang Khong. A lot of trucks on this road bringing coal to Lampang. No bridge so cross Mekhong on barges. Why would they bringing coal to Lampang?? Not to far from Lampang are a couple huge coal mines, that bring it down the mountain. I know, had quite a few try to run me off the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my friend I Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 The coal at Mae Mo is low grade [ lignite] & almost gone. Those trucks are even more dangerous on bad roads thru Laos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
