Can I expect internet on the Mekong slow boat with SouthESIM?

You'll find connectivity in spurts! The two-day slow boat journey from Huay Xai to Luang Prabang is a classic Southeast Asian adventure. With SouthESIM, you'll generally pick up a 4G signal when passing by villages and during your overnight stop in Pakbeng. However, as you glide through the more remote stretches of the Mekong River, especially between these points, the signal can be a bit shy. It's a perfect excuse to disconnect and soak in the stunning riverine landscapes, but you'll be able to check in periodically.
