    It's a great view of city and village life.

    It's a great view of city and village life. You do the loop and that some what sums up your trip. I did hit the Mountain you take a boat under and I took the "Back road" by mistake and ended up driving 58km though Laos villages Seriously the best part of the trip. I got to see a side of Laos 99% Of tourist never will so def. something worth seeing if you find that back road, its not hard to see if you do the loop backwards from what hotels advise you. the caves are great, Dragon cave is a SERIOUS hike, the first few caves just east of the town are barely 5 minute visits and are used for praying not so. much tourism.

    Just place for change of scenery from Thailand on visa run.

    Just place for change of scenery from Thailand on visa run. Very easy border crossing and for visa on arrival to Laos not crowded on day we crossed. Good for stay and travel to other parts of Laos mountain area which had vrey much nicer weather. If you are motorcycle rider starting point for Thakek loop. Laos people were very friendly.

    Many beautiful and scenic spots to explore close to Thakhek.

    Many beautiful and scenic spots to explore close to Thakhek. The town has a very laid back atmosphere and is friendly and reasonably priced. There is a very special and spiritually important temple if one has an affinity for that.

    The karst mountains near the town are very beautiful.

    The karst mountains near the town are very beautiful. Traffic on route to Vietnam can be a bit intimidating. The smaller dirt roads into the mountains are the best. Worthwhile wearing a face mask and dustproof goggles as the dust raised by pickup trucks can be suffocating and visibility reduced to practically zero especially with a big truck travelling at speed on a dusty dirt back road.

    Thakhek is the old town, every architectures I saw it is full of history. You should walk around in the morning it is very nice weather. And if you like to outside for adventures. There are many caves around. You can rent the motorbike to go there it is not too far. Two sides of the road to adventure you will see local people living. They are so nice and friendly.

    Nice near the river.

    Nice near the river. Good start point for Thakhek loop by motorscooter, which we only went halfway and then returned back on the route for second part. 570km in 4D/3N trip, on mainly good roads. Stayed at Sabbadai guesthouse on 1st & 3rd night, and near Konglor Cave 2nd night. Get to Konglor area before dark, as quite a lot of potholes. Roads generally very good.

    Mr noy was such a gem of a human! We got there and were welcomed with open arms, it began with his wife’s birthday, and continued through the night with great food and amazing company! We then did the thakhek loop, getting a scooter and the right information was a breeze and set off. When we arrived back after 3 days, a hot shower, comfy bed, awesome aircon’d room, couldn’t ask for more. In one month from now they will have a swimming pool so lucky to anyone who is going! Thank you Mr. Noy!

    Stayed 2 wonderful nights at Naga Hostel. Binh and his family were so accomodating, staying up for us to check in late when our bus had a delayed arrival to Thakhek. Binh was so helpful in sharing where to go on the loop and the best route to take. The hostel was very clean, has great breakfast options and had a very comfortable sleep with AC. Binh is a great communicator and also organised my transfer to Vientiane. Thanks so much 🙏

    Great beds. Average pool, didn’t use but it looked good. The breakfast was great! They did fried toast instead of regular toast which was a nice touch. The coffee was really good! 25,000 Kip for a cappuccino. They’re very helpful with motorbike hire for the thaklet loop. Owners really friendly and good English speakers. They offer free shower after finishing the loop.

    The staff was really nice and also having the option of coffee/tea and bananas was good. She helped us with all our questions and it was great to get the laundry done while on the loop. Luggage storage during the loop was for free as well.

    This place is central for everyone that wants to do the Thakhek Loop so you can just walk around to find a place to rent a motorbike. Everyone there is either going to or coming back from the loop making information sharing a breeze.
