    It's a great view of city and village life.

    It's a great view of city and village life. You do the loop and that some what sums up your trip. I did hit the Mountain you take a boat under and I took the "Back road" by mistake and ended up driving 58km though Laos villages Seriously the best part of the trip. I got to see a side of Laos 99% Of tourist never will so def. something worth seeing if you find that back road, its not hard to see if you do the loop backwards from what hotels advise you. the caves are great, Dragon cave is a SERIOUS hike, the first few caves just east of the town are barely 5 minute visits and are used for praying not so. much tourism.

    Just place for change of scenery from Thailand on visa run.

    Just place for change of scenery from Thailand on visa run. Very easy border crossing and for visa on arrival to Laos not crowded on day we crossed. Good for stay and travel to other parts of Laos mountain area which had vrey much nicer weather. If you are motorcycle rider starting point for Thakek loop. Laos people were very friendly.

    Many beautiful and scenic spots to explore close to Thakhek.

    Many beautiful and scenic spots to explore close to Thakhek. The town has a very laid back atmosphere and is friendly and reasonably priced. There is a very special and spiritually important temple if one has an affinity for that.

    The karst mountains near the town are very beautiful.

    The karst mountains near the town are very beautiful. Traffic on route to Vietnam can be a bit intimidating. The smaller dirt roads into the mountains are the best. Worthwhile wearing a face mask and dustproof goggles as the dust raised by pickup trucks can be suffocating and visibility reduced to practically zero especially with a big truck travelling at speed on a dusty dirt back road.

    Thakhek is the old town, every architectures I saw it is full of history. You should walk around in the morning it is very nice weather. And if you like to outside for adventures. There are many caves around. You can rent the motorbike to go there it is not too far. Two sides of the road to adventure you will see local people living. They are so nice and friendly.

    Nice near the river.

    Nice near the river. Good start point for Thakhek loop by motorscooter, which we only went halfway and then returned back on the route for second part. 570km in 4D/3N trip, on mainly good roads. Stayed at Sabbadai guesthouse on 1st & 3rd night, and near Konglor Cave 2nd night. Get to Konglor area before dark, as quite a lot of potholes. Roads generally very good.

    Loved everything! I stayed here for two nights, before and after the Thakek loop. Most folks will be in the same boat. It was super clean and comfortable — nice beds and everything. Binh and everyone on staff was super helpful with everything you need before the loop. Bike rental, directions, where to stop, where to stay. They have a Google Maps list with where to go, and they want to make sure you feel comfortable for your trip. He even gave me a ride in the morning. I would definitely stay there again!

    Mr noy was such a gem of a human! We got there and were welcomed with open arms, it began with his wife’s birthday, and continued through the night with great food and amazing company! We then did the thakhek loop, getting a scooter and the right information was a breeze and set off. When we arrived back after 3 days, a hot shower, comfy bed, awesome aircon’d room, couldn’t ask for more. In one month from now they will have a swimming pool so lucky to anyone who is going! Thank you Mr. Noy!

    It was clean clean clean and updated everywhere. The best bed and pillows I’ve had in Laos. I didn’t want to leave. Gorgeous decor and furnishings with attention to detail. The owner was a beautiful woman and spoke delightful English. Also the free breakfast was lovely ❤️

    The staff were excellent! Super helpful and nice. The stay overall was great, we stayed for one night before the loop and one after, it’s close to wang wang which is the main motorbike/car agency and there are restaurants close too. The shower had hot water.

    The bus was so late getting into town, I didn't arrive until just after 11pm. I had messaged the property to update them and it was no problem at all. So friendly, the room is basic but clean and does the job for one night before starting the loop.

    The people who work here are amazing, so kind and helpful. We rented bikes from them for the loop and unfortunately had a crash and they sorted everything out for us and were so understanding! Couldn't rate them more

    Extremely comfortable bed with nice A/C and privacy curtains. The bathrooms were nice and clean as well. Comfortable lounge area and they'll store your big backpack for when you're gone on the loop for a small fee.

    A group of us stayed here before doing the Thakhek loop for four days. Anna was very helpful with information and we had a lovely breakfast too. She allowed us to leave our rucksacks there while we were away

    A really stylish and comfortable hotel right in the heart of the old town. The bar and restaurant were really nice and we’re a great meeting place.

    I could check in around 2am. Good a/c in the dorm, a bit small though. Nice to spend the night before or after the loop.

    Probably the best choice in Thakhek but it is only OK rather than good.
