Attapeu
Orientation
Attapeu is bordered to the east and south by the Sekong River. The southern stretch is where you'll find the riverside restaurants, the hospital, some places to stay, and the ferry to Ban Sekhaman. To the east you'll find the market and the bridge to Xaysettha. There isn't much to see or do to the north and west of the old Attapeu Palace site, with the exception of the bus station and the road to Sanamxai, 3km from the town center along the main road.
The post office (T:(036) 211 012) is located across the street from where the Attapeu Palace once stood -- open weekdays from 08:00 to 11:30. Though there's a prominent sign advertising Western Union services, no such services exist here -- only at the Lao Development Bank in the centre of town, open weekdays 08:30 to 3:30. You can exchange Baht and US dollars and cash travellers' cheques -- no credit card advances are available. You can also pick up some Vietnamese dong at the Thanh Nga Guesthouse if you're headed to Vietnam.
