Xieng Kok Resort
Wooden bungalows overlooking the Mekong.
What we say: 
At the highest point in Xieng Kok sits the Xieng Kok Resort, with peaceful views across to Burma as well as right up the river in both directions. Individual wooden bungalows each have their own furnished balcony on which to enjoy the scenery. Inside, smallish but clean rooms have a mosquito net but no fan, and a bathroom with a squat toilet and cold shower. Electricity is provided by generator, with power only between 6pm and about 9pm. There is also a restaurant on the large grounds.

What a place .....
Had to paddle to our room. A very basic place but clean with an effective mosquito net. What more could you ask eh? There was no power at all when we were there. What fun - make sure you have plenty of battery in yer iPod and torch. Beds very comfortable for those of us that like their sleeping on the firm side.

Priceless views
The little bungalows of the Xien Kok Resort are typical of 'resorts' in the Malaysian sense. Nice location in the country, mostly reached by driving your own car there, with no other guests around except during the holidays. That said, in Lao PDR (Please Dont Rush) all these seems surreal. We stood around for 30 minutes trying to check ourselves in, fiddling with a small padlock. There's a staff of two Chinese ladies running the place as well as a Chinese restaurant in Xieng Kok village 10 minutes away. They have very strong legs and the cook's not bad either.Try her stir fries 'downtown' at a place called ''Restaurant'' The security guard handles the keys and passes on two complimentary candles as power goes off at 10.00pm sharp. The restaurant is partly burned down (kitchen fire) and we saw some guys rebuilding the thatched roof. The lawn here is large enough for a wedding party and if this was Singapore, God forbid, a mall. The rooms are small but cosy with mosquito nets, rehooked many times. Bath water was slight Mekhong-ish brown. Unlike most other places, you're 50 metres above a seductive bend in the Khong, facing the jungles of Burma, looking into the sunset towards China, trying to photograph a few fireflies on the 'balcony' Priceless. Or rather US$5.
