• overly gay friendly, beware!

  Me and my friend stopped at the Riverside for a Beer Lao, when Mr Aek, the ''gay friendly'' host started to talk to us. We spent a nice hour or so talking about how it is to be gay in Laos. Then, I went to the toilet and as I walked out, Mister Aek asked me whether I and my friend are boyfriends. I said: No. And he proceeded to grab my crotch - out of nowhere! I shouted and we left as soon as we could... While this is a personal story, I feel it is important to share it with potential visitors. The owner my be friendly, but he is prepared to sexually harass you - BEWARE!

• RiversideRainbowBridgePlace !

  It's at about a 45 minutes walk through the ricefields from the pier in the north of the island, through the ricefields, to reach mr AEK friendly place in the south. We stayed here for 5 days and those were the most relaxed days of our really relaxed 4 weeks stay in Laos ! Mr.Aek is a really nice and helpfull guy, his english conversation skills are perfect and his cookingskills are ok, the bungalows are good value for money ! the restaurant has a great location on the mekong with a view on the french bridge. ADMIRE the handpainted rainbow-flag at the restaurant :) Go there and say hello for us ! Jeroen and Paul from Amsterdam. O JA, you dont have to walk there like we did, he can pick you up with his boat !

• Hard to find on the map

  Riverside is far more south and on the way to the french bridge than marked on the map in your guide. But worth the (long) walk!

• Best Place on Don Dhet

  I stayed here with my friends in February and we enjoyed it very much. Mr. Aek is very friendly and caring. He speaks good English and is very helpful. The food is delicious and cheap. If you call Mr. Aek he will pick you up at the pier in Nakasang.

• We Loved it Here!!!

  Having moved from the miserable Souksan at the other end of Don Dhet, this was a breath of fresh air. Our well built bungalow was well ventilated with two doors and two windows. The kitsch decoration suited the place and the atmosphere perfectly. We only intended to stay for a few days, but chose to exhaust our remaining days in Laos here. Whilst a couple of the drinks were a little of the 'over sweet Laos style' the cooking was excellent. The chicken Lap whilst being different to what we'd tried elsewhere was excellent, as were the curries and the pancakes and on and on........Mr Aek and the family around us looked after us perfectly - thanks for a very relaxing stay.
