Hi Meagan,
This Trekking in Thailand story might give you a few tips on what to look for, though we don't recommend any specific operators. While Chiang Mai is the most popular base for treks, Pai and Mae Hong Son are also very popular -- in part because they are smaller places, closer to "the action"
There is no direct bus from Huay Xai to Luang Prabang - to do it by bus would take you via Luang Nam Tha and Udom Xai -- a long and circuitous trip. Boat is faster. faster still is flying -- there are direct flights from Chiang Mai to Luang Prabang.
For more tips on the slow boat, take a look at this thread on the messageboard.
Hope that helps!
