    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.

    Super clean hostel which is very important to me. Probably the cleanest place I’ve stayed at honestly. They also have comfortable beds and great working air con. Love that they also provide filtered water, towels, shampoo, and soap. This family is awesome and very kind. I originally only wanted to do the rock view zip line and after some chatting I was convinced to do the thakhek loop and I’m glad I did!! It was definitely one of the highlights of my trip. Thank you Binh and Trang!

    Great little guesthouse in Thakhek! We stayed in the 4 person dorm and had a great night's sleep. Very clean rooms and bathrooms. Communication with Nong is easy. She will help you with anything you may need, like booking a bus after your stay. We took the nightbus after driving the loop and we could take a nice shower before getting on the bus. You can also leave your bags there safely when driving the loop and pick them up later. Thank you Nong!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    The best shower I've had in around 6 weeks! The staff were so helpful and accommodating! Our bus arrived very late so we didn't get to the hotel until 1am but Daniel was there to greet us with a smile! Great guy!
