Bamboo Paradise Guesthouse
Getting better every year
What we say: 
The owners of Bamboo Paradise have been busy adding new bungalows to their patch of riverside property, and standards here have gone way up. Spacious new bungalows have double beds, fans and individual balconies with rattan lounge chairs. The biggest difference is the new bathrooms with hot water showers and Western-style toilets. If you're on a serious budget, some of the old rooms in an adjoining bamboo structure with numbers spray-painted on the door still remain. They're cramped, dark and rustic — we definitely recommend coughing up the 30,000 kip for the new ones. During our 2010 visit more new bungalows were being built. A restaurant is on site and laundry service available.

Be VERY cautious
The bungalows are fine and cheap. BUT we caught the owners in our room one day, and their English skills suddenly took a turn for the worst when asked why. Our bags were locked and nothing was taken. BUT 2 Dutch girls who were also staying there had 2,000,000 kip (a lot) stolen from their room. The owners gave them no explanation, and didn't complain when they refused to pay for their room. DO NOT STAY HERE - THEY WILL AND DO STEAL MONEY

True Lao Paradise
We stumbled across the Bamboo Paradise and ended up staying a week there, so smitten were we! It's true that the rooms and food are super-basic, which was a large part of the charm -- staying there you feel in touch with a lifestyle that is centuries old. The family that owns and runs the guesthouse were some of the kindest, generous people we met in four months of travelling Asia, and we consider them now good friends. Take some time and try to communicate with them (English is a little shaky, but much can be communicated) and they may choose to take you into the fold. The sleepy town of Nong Khiaw is a secret delight to experience. If you are hearty enough to "rough it" a bit, this is a place of profound beauty not to be missed!
