Meexai Bungalows
Cheap with free WiFi
What we say: 
Meexai has joined the bungalow scene with a handful of thatched bamboo rooms spread out on the bank of the Nam Ou. The bungalows are slightly raised on stilts above a flower garden and each has a spacious balcony furnished with wooden chairs. Inside they're like everywhere else with a double platform bed and mosquito net, but with clean, soft blankets. Attached bathrooms are well-maintained with hot water showers, a blessing in the cool season. In recent times this place has started to feel a little old as many others places in town have modernised. When you consider that Nam Houn next door is only slightly more expensive but has better views and is better quality, you get the feeling that this place is only good as a backup. Still, there is free WiFi and it is extremely cheap.

Good Place, Great Deal
My simple bungalow was very comfortable and pleasant. The bed was especially good, and the duvet was clean and just the right weight. The mosquito net was in good condition. The whole room, and the bathroom (with hot water shower), were spotless. The deck was a pleasant place to sit and even had a sliver of a river view. The deck had a hammock and a couple of chairs, plus a small table. Inside, in addition to the bed there were two small tables, a fan, and a rack for hanging towels or drying clothes. Wifi didn't work in my room, but worked well in the restaurant area. I stayed here in mid-October and the restaurant was not operating. I assume they open it in high season. The owners have almost no English but are very, very sweet and helpful. I paid 38,000 kip (about US$4.75) -- a total steal for this very good place. I'd assume rates are somewhat higher in high season, but probably still an excellent deal. Incidentally, contrary to the Travelfish review, the place is not on the banks of the Nam Ou, but set back a ways.
