Thakhaek Travel Lodge

The perfect place

What we say: 4.5 stars

The Thakaek Travel Lodge is flat out one of the best guesthouses in southeast Asia and features nightly campfires in the front courtyard that create a great atmosphere to relax with a beer and chat with fellow travellers. The main building offers a dorm room for a cheap, comfortable night's sleep -- fan rooms, as well as rooms with private bath, are also available. The longhouse to one side of the main building houses wonderfully spacious rooms, decorated in a mix of French and Lao styles, with huge bathrooms and wide four-poster beds adorned with lacy-white mosquito netting. The restaurant here serves a variety of Lao and western dishes, some of which are quite good -- try the chicken Caesar salad. As the 'Konglor Cave Loop' becomes more and more popular, the Travel Lodge has become the place to get the latest info and rent motorbikes. It's also the only place in town with internet -- there's one terminal here, 500 kip per minute. The only drawback is that it's a little far from everything, except the 3-kilometre market 1 km to the south. Otherwise, this is just the perfect place. English and French are spoken.
