Not worth 1000 ThB/$33. There are much better hotels nearby for this price. I stupidly didn't check the room. I'd never have stayed here ; but my Nong Khai friend Bill, stays here all the time evidently. Now there is a new Karokee Bar adjacent. Now sure how loud it will be.

Vientiane slows down your heart rate, adjusts your need to rush and charms you at every turn of the …

Um 13h sollten wir im Guesthouse abgeholt werden. Wie nicht anders zu erwarten kam das TukTuk zum Busbahnhof erst um 13.30h. 10min später am ZOB angekommen, warteten wir mit ca. 100 anderen auf Anschlussbusse nach Hanoi, Bangkok, Vientiane und Chiang Mai.
Busfahrer und Angestellte sprechen natürlich kein Wort english, wodurch es sich schon schwer gestaltet den richtigen Bus aus zu machen.
Irgendwie haben alle Passagiere, die ...

... meals, all European. The French Café’s offered us good breakfasts and there were plenty of Pasta and Pizza dishes to keep us all going.

Once again Laos food and drink was disappointing, our two months in Thailand really had spoilt us and the capital couldn’t offer anything better than the baguette’s we were having in Vang Vieng. It’s a shame we opted for Western food during most of our time in Laos, but that can happen when you ...
