    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.

    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!

    The hostel is small and simple but the spaces are very well thought out. Beds are clean, comfortable, and have night lights. There are amazing common spaces that's great for chilling. Bathroom is outdoors and very clean. To top it off, Nong was a very friendly host who helps you out and can answer your questions about the Thakhek loop. She works hard to make this a great place. I kept extending my stay here because I had an amazing experience.

    May runs the show and she is a gem. Nothing she wouldn‘t do (as long as you pay for it). She has the Hondas for the loop, the extra store for the luggage, she takes you across the border into Thailand. And her english is way above average. Super breakfast & dinner on the premises, free coffee & water, super compound to chill and chat. And it is right where the Thakek loop starts out!

    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 Owner of the hostel was beyond helpful and nice. He made a day trip with us to a waterfall and he provides you with scooters for the thakhek loop. Also he provided us with snacks and organises bus rides to the next destination.

    The host at La Casa is great at helping to set you up for doing the Thakhek loop, which is why we visited Thakhek. The dorm is spacious and the shower is nice. The hostel is located nearby many good and affordable restaurants.

    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.

    We got so much information about the Loop and everything in order to do the Loop was available. Would definitely recommend if you are doing the Loop, and also if you are just staying in Thakhek.
