    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!

    The owner of this hostel, Mr Noy is extremely kind and helpful! We stopped in Thakhek on the way ti Vientiane and he helped us book our bus tickets (the bus was great). The pool is nice, and the facilities are basic! The showers are warm and there is a good number of bathrooms for all the guests! We stayed in the private room with no bathroom and it was good for 2 nights. The beds were comfy. The location is also excellent, right by the river and less than a minutes walk to the night market!

    One of the best hostels i stayed at in Laos. The beds are really comfortable and there is much space for you stuff. Also the toilet and shower are very clean and good. The hostel is close to everything you need and the owners have very good advice for things to do on the loop en can help you with almost anything (like laundry, transportation etc.). Highly recommend this one!

    The bus was so late getting into town, I didn't arrive until just after 11pm. I had messaged the property to update them and it was no problem at all. So friendly, the room is basic but clean and does the job for one night before starting the loop.

    A great place to stay before the thakhek loop. Perfect location, great rooms. Allow you to leave all your bags for the loop. Nong is an amazing host who helps with everything on the loop with all details of where to stay and where to stop.

    Extremely comfortable bed with nice A/C and privacy curtains. The bathrooms were nice and clean as well. Comfortable lounge area and they'll store your big backpack for when you're gone on the loop for a small fee.

    Probably the best choice in Thakhek but it is only OK rather than good.
