Vientiane Bed and Breakfasts - Reviews and Rates

After a mountainous and nauseating drive, we crossed the Laos border and drove to the Capital, Vietiane. Was very French feeling and we spent a bit of time climbing the stairs of the Victory Gate (which had fab views), seeing the Golden Pagoda at Sunset and fitting in a bit of shopping. Is fairly quiet for a capital city, and compared to other c...

We left for Vientiane the next day on our VIP bus (as we had been informed - yeah right), squished like sardines in a tin we traveled to the capital..... Not much to see and do here, its more of a stop off before venturing to the next destination. We visited the Budda Park and said goodbye to everyone we had traveled with since Chiang Mai, and m...

After an insanely long process of loading and unloading all of our bags and boxes of books from Chiang Mai to Vientiane, we arrived around 12pm on Tuesday. We got settled at our guesthouse, went to get something to eat at this super cute expat hangout called Sticky Fingers. At 4:00 we went to Village Focus International and all the interns met t...

14th June 2008: KL - Vientiane We took the 9.05am flight from KL to Vientiane via AirAsia, our favourite budget airlines. Arrived in Vientiane at 10.40am and Argi had to fill up some forms at the Arrival for his visa. Make sure you have USD 35 and a passport photo ready to avoid any delay. I was so jelous because Argi had a really nice visa stam...

We heard that everyone loves Loas, and so far it has managed to deliver quite a fun vacation. I only wish we had more time to linger in each place, instead we are rushing around like chickens with our heads cut off, joking that we must 'hurry up and relax.' After a day of rest in Luang Namtha we took the bus to Luang Prabang, which is actually a...

Christmas in Laos was both great fun and very strange. We were staying in a village on the outskirts of the capital -Vientiane. The city has changed considerably since visiting in 2003. Most of the roads are now tarmacked and paddy fields have given way to high rise hotels and government buildings. As usual, Aunty Bounmy made us feel most welco...

We decided to pop over to Vienti*ne for our l*st night, since we were so close to L*os *ll week long, seeing it right in front of our eyes, *cross the river where we st*yed *nd celebr*ted *ll these d*ys. Stephen, * r*ther h*ndsome guy st*ying in our guest house, *sked us if we w*nted to sh*re the tuk tuk to Vienti*ne, so the three of us left the...

It was a monster of a bus ride to Udon Thani, from where I'd been told to get a direct bus to Vientiane, but that only works if you already have your visa. It's actually cheaper to get the visa at the border, so that's what I'd set out to do, and so I had to take a different bus via Nong Khai, then cross the Friendship Bridge, pay 35 USD visa fe...

Vientaine was great. A nice sized place with just enough sites and relaxation. We visited the budda park, and spent some time with an actual monk learing about why he became a monk and what was required of him. A sad story to here....but at least we gave him his first taste of a burger! We had our fill of Lao and other food along the river and s...

So we found ourselves back in Vientiane again, so we could get ourselves a 60 day Thai visa, and avoid too many border runs, as they're not too convenient when your on the islands! Me and Stuggy decided on a period of enforced sobriety, no drinking, and chilling out. So we booked a (shock horror) relatively expensive room, with...wait for it.......
