Default Speedboat from Thailand or Laos to China up the Mekong?

Has anybody travelled from Laos into SW China by boat up the Mekong?

Can I buy a ticket in Laos (or somewhere in Thailand)? How frequent are the
services, ie how long would I have to wait around to get a ticket? Comments?

I am thinking about travelling in April 2010, but timing is flexible. I only
have 2 weeks vacation, so I need to know that this is reasonably
straightforward and I won't get stranded somewhere up-river ...

Try asking on the Lonely Planet website at the Thorntree
