Description
This laid-back, unpretentious resort is located overlooking the Nam Mang and Nam Leuk rivers on the southern boundary of a nearby national park. Established in 2005, and now charmingly rundown, the resort buildings are made from local timber, bamboo and thatch and set atop the river bank. The veranda restaurant has a captivating view of the rivers set against a mountainous backdrop. A sandy beach has formed at the river confluence, where guests can enjoy sunbathing and swimming. Within striking distance of nearby rapids, waterfalls and Ban Na elephant watch tower, Tiger Lilly is a convenient base from which to explore the national park. Trekking, longtail canoe trips and pony rides are available. For cultural immersion, explore the sprawling fishing and farming village of Ban Houay Leuk. Be patient but persistent -- only poor English is spoken at Tiger Lilly, so expect to spend time getting your message across! The result is an authentic Lao village and park experience. Thai and Lao food are served at the restaurant. The five bungalows have fans, en-suite bathrooms and river views. While not busy, it is worth phoning ahead to ensure the staff are ready for you.

Tad Leuk Waterfall Camp Site
Tad Leuk Waterfall, Thaphabat District, Bolikhamsai Province
Alongside the Tad Leuk waterfall is a friendly family-run camp site. With only a dozen or so visitors overnighting there every month, there's a good chance it will be deserted. There are no firm rules about where to pitch tents, though a grassy clearing is made available. Between October and April,... more

Ban Thabok, Thaphabat District, Bolikhamsai Province
Just two doors down from the T&M is the Deuan Savanh - Siphandone Guesthouse consisting of a series of concrete single-storey blocks with garish turquoise exterior. Like the T&M, it is a typical Lao roadside guesthouse: clean, convenient and comfortable, but lacking in charm. A small bar and... more
T&M Guesthouse
Ban Thabok, Thaphabat District, Bolikhamsai Province
Built in 2005, T&M is a clean, simple guesthouse in the centre of bustling Ban Thabok. Located on Route 13 South and built in the style of a Thai concrete villa, it has none of the charisma of the Tiger Lilly or Ban Pako. The location is convenient for local truck-stop eateries, as well as being... more
