| No problem to take bikes over, as long as you've got all the right documents. If you head towards Nong Khai from the railway station, there's a bikers' bar on the left of the road, just after the first main traffic lights. Nice bunch of guys.
If anyone's staying in Vientiane, these are the best hotels for around $15 a night:
Mali Namphu - just north of the fountain.
Riverside - on Nokeo Koummane, road running away from the river.
Vayakorn Guesthouse - further north on Nokeo Koummane.
There has been a spate of building work in Vientiane, and it now has some pretty decent places to eat and stay - much more upmarket than a couple of years ago.
