"Thongbay is just outside town, but it's right on the Nam Khan River and every bungalow has a deck...from which to look out over the river or the beautiful gardens."
"It would be easy, however, to lose hours lounging on your balcony watching the villagers tend their vegetable gardens on the opposite bank."

"Thongbay Guesthouse is an older, small property overlooking the banks of the Nam Khan River -- slightly outside of the center of town." Full review
"Subtle lighting and immaculately managed foliage intersperse the Thongbay's close-packed wood-and-thatch bungalows." Full review

"Le Bel Air is an excellent choice for visitors seeking a taste of traditional Lao hospitality."
"Bel Air's thatched cottages might look rustic from the outside, but inside it's all modern and tastefully fitted out, including curtained display-baths and sunset-facing private balconies." Full review
