Visa Run To Laos Wednesday

[bangkok blue]

Off to sort a visa on Wednesday, via Udon. Appreciate Vientiene isn't a party capital, but where is good to go out?

Any tips on guesthouses to stay at?

The restaurants around the Nam Phu fountain are good and cheap. French, Italian, and Lao. Provencal, Opera, Nam Phu Restaurant. Les Caves .......Restaurant has grilled specials every night. The Rib steak is a specialty, looks like of an overstuffed lambchop. Try Scandanavian Bakery next to Provencal for early morning baked goods and sandwiches.

Chop Chai Der restaurant around the corner (50 ft.) from the fountain is VERY popular and cheap. Then on Setthatirath Rd. there is Le Central French Restaurant. Vayakorn Hotel is nearby.

We also liked Kua Lao Restaurant in an old style house on Samsenthai Road.
