Heading to Chiang Khong/Huay Xai ferry. Temples + Golden Triangle + buffer for slow travel?

3 nights ideal: Day 1 White/Blue/Huay Pla Kang, Day 2 Black House or Golden Triangle + tea, Day 3 buffer or city explore before bus north. Chiang Khong 2 hrs from CR — don't cram temples same day as border crossing.

2 nights minimum — rushed Golden Triangle but doable before Laos.

Book Chiang Khong guesthouse night before ferry — morning Mekong crossing less stressful.
