A mate and me just finished a ride from Huay Xai to Luang Namtha with about 90% on dirt. We went via Xieng Kok, Muang Long and Nale. Here's some photos.

Great shots Paul, enjoy the ride up to Pongsali.
 
I was in Phongsali this time three years ago, with Auke. The smoke was so bad we had to leave.

Photos are great. Thanks Mr Wallah
