    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.

    Loved everything! I stayed here for two nights, before and after the Thakek loop. Most folks will be in the same boat. It was super clean and comfortable — nice beds and everything. Binh and everyone on staff was super helpful with everything you need before the loop. Bike rental, directions, where to stop, where to stay. They have a Google Maps list with where to go, and they want to make sure you feel comfortable for your trip. He even gave me a ride in the morning. I would definitely stay there again!

    Stayed 2 nights to rest up before the loop. Owner speaks English and is fun to talk too. She is local so can point you in direction of all you will need for your trip. Can leave your bag and shower on return when waiting for bus to wherever....Naga snakes from nearby temple to the river are cool to follow down and watch the fishing ladies at sunset. Food along river is pretty good also.

    Bike and Bed is a great place to stay before doing the loop! If you’re arriving by bus to Thakhek, the Tuktuks from the bus station take you to about a 5 minute walk from the hostel. Nong (owner) is so lovely and happily answers any questions you have. The property is in walking distance to 4/5 bike rental places too. Definitely recommend here before the loop!

    My friend and I enjoyed our stay here before doing the Thakek loop and were able to leave our big backpacks at the hostel. The room was clean and comfortable, the beds as well. Bathrooms were nice & clean and there’s really nothing to complain about. The owner is the sweetest, so friendly and helpful and has great recommendations!

    Great hostel to start the thakhek loop from! Mr Noy was very helpful with renting the bike and giving me a map of the route with lots of details for great stops! He also helped me to book a bus ticket to Pakse and offered drop off at bus station and shower after the loop. Great stay, ຂອບ​ໃຈ Mr Noy!

    Nice little spot to spend a couple nights in Thakhek. Mr Noy was super responsive and drove us to Green Climbers home on our last morning in town. Beds are comfortable and much larger than a standard twin size. Bathrooms were clean, no complaints.

    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.

    Staff was very friendly! Location is just a little far from most other things in Thakhek, however, they were more than happy to provide transportation to city center. Very quiet. I slept great.

    We stayed here before heading off on the Thakhek loop, the staff were lovely and the hostel allowed for late check in. We were able to leave our big bags here safely whilst we did the loop!
