sanuk711 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Hi Live Udon Thani- Wife going over with friends-- they want to do the markets, 2 days Vientiane & 2 days L.P. their hoping to find new suppliers Junk Jewry/paintings etc for their markets here. Usually they buy from BKK Been a few years with Covid etc--so can anyone recommend a mid range Hotel near to the main markets in both. I see the Kip--Baht has crashed, 200+ 8 months ago 400+ now. Hope its not affected the people to much. Thanks in advance--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yer they did--they were recommended to look on Kayak, I had heard about the site on US TV adverts but had not used the it before but, it really undercut all the other sites (Agoda/Booking.com etc ) as it lists their price along with Kayaks -- they picked a hotel close to the Mekong and Kayak just said the cheapest price on the market is the hotel--phone them direct. With Lao's they said it still had not open completely--the main shopping center (3 levels) still had 2 floors closed-- you can get the high speed train now to Luang Prabang or China. ...disappointing--but they brought back a lot of good red wine--Cheap...

KhunLA Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Didn't recommend anything, as been almost 10 yrs since there. Future reference for anyone, we stayed at Nalinthone GH, riverside to the west of 'downtown' & riverside market. Nice area, quite with plenty of good food/restaurants in the area. Had parking, a plus, since we self drove. Worth taking a peek, along with others nearby, w/more amenities, if going: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Nalinthone+Guesthouse/@17.96644,102.5890939,1923m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m25!1m16!4m15!1m6!1m2!1s0x312468f5f4e2282f:0xfa6e516153e6ec1a!2sNalinthone+Guesthouse!2m2!1d102.5942284!2d17.9664318!1m6!1m2!1s0x312468f5f4e2282f:0xfa6e516153e6ec1a!2sNalinthone+Guesthouse,+Quai+Fa+Ngum,+Vientiane,+Laos!2m2!1d102.5942284!2d17.9664318!3e0!3m7!1s0x312468f5f4e2282f:0xfa6e516153e6ec1a!5m2!4m1!1i2!8m2!3d17.9664318!4d102.5942284 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
