You must read the history of Lao and that area.
You must read the history of Lao and that area. In the past was quite rough. A friend described it as ‘narco sh*thole’. If you are a one night tourist, are polite, stick to your normal tourist routine it seems quaint and harmless. Most local people are friendly and helpful despite the history, and current young party tourists and others. Depends on the day. Almost no one stays two nights.

Compulsory stop off location for slow boat trip to Luang Prabang. The town has poor food options, high levels of plastic pollution and locals burning their rubbish, drug dealers openly offering their wares and skittish dogs in the streets.
I'm sure there are some positives about Pak Beng but I didn't see any. Get yourself a good night's sleep and get out of there.. Luang Prabang awaits; a much nicer place to be.

Most people just stay the one night whilst heading down river to Luang Prabang... On the last 3 occasions I have stayed two nights, and find it a great place to relax and watch the river (and the elephants) and all the other travellers rushing off to catch the next boat

It's a crazy small town.
It's a crazy small town. Probably you get there because you must and not because you need and I mean it's the only slow-boat station. It's friendly, chill and you can find some nice local restaurant very fast. And also they have some French inspired bakery which serves some sandwiches and pastries when you need to continue the slow-boat trip.
