Ini diambil dari blog/catatan dan review saya tiga tahun lalu:

There were several consideration that need attention to independent traveler 
who want to go this area:

The condition for Laos was not too dangerous, but you must be willing to any 
transport available. Mini-Van for tourists (non local) could be ordered 
anywhere, while the public's transport such as bus and boat are widely 
acceptable.

Loaung Phabang was more organised and embraced tourism.
Although the road were unpaved but facilities such as guesthouses, hotels, 
restauranst, and travel agents were easy to find. In here also you could 
arrange visas to any neighboring countries like China, Myanmar, Vietnam.


The prices summarized below were based on high season (December). If you travel 
in low season so assume that you will spend 60% of the rate. If you travel 
alone the price just slightly the the same as you were travel in low season.



1. Louang Phabang
Sokdhee Guesthouse, US12 per room with fan
Old City in the Manthatoulat road
Comments: did not have a view, but the house was a traditional wooden house. 
Bathroom was clean and hot shower.

2.Van Vieng
The Villa Nam Song, ranch type, US30 per room, double with AC
TEL: 00.856.23.511.016

Direction : from the bus station, walk 10 minutes across gravel road afterward 
turn left headed bamboo bridge. This villa just beside the bridge and Bungalow 
Thavonsouk (best known in Van Vieng).
Comments: scenery of limestone across the river was extraordinary, sat in the 
terrace restaurant laid back. Very recommended.
