The King of the Mekong River

Some people are so cool they only need one name. This is the case with Oad, known to his friends as the ‘King of the River’. A native of Chiang Khong, he has spent the majority of his life on and around the Mekong River. He is without a doubt one of the most knowledgeable and skilled persons navigating the Mekong in his area and exudes a quiet confidence. During Smiling Albino river outings, Oad is our man. His charming smile has earned him the title of ‘Most handsome man in Chiang Rai province’ by many of our guests and he always goes that extra mile to make your trip memorable.
