Mali Namphu Guesthouse - Vientiane, Laos

[MeMock]

Stayed there one night 2 weeks ago.

$15 US. Not bad, not that good either.

Scandanavia Bakery was yummy

Heres a couple of pics

I stayed there Last November, really good for the money but they would not let my new "girlfriend" stay the night. Near the square with the fountain I found an Indian restaurant, fantastic food and beer....

[Dick Rangerous]

The Indian by the fountain next to Green Discovery tours (great tour chain btw) has long since closed. ALSO I RECOMMEND BOYCOTTING the so-called famous NAZIM RESTAURANT. So many Lonely Planet philes go there they don't need to make tasty dishes to get the dollar rolling. AVOID THIS CHAIN AT ALL COSTS, I did warn you. When you get to Vang Vieng or Luang Phrabang go to NISHA instead. Great food at less cost. Like is says on the menu "Cheap and best".

They even answer their emails, which was a pleasant surprise.

Took them 2.5 days to answer mine to tell me that they are full

I hope I don't have to stay at any of DD's recommendations.

I stayed there myself last year, not a bad place. I liked the courtyard.

You must have gave it away that you were an Aussie

I hope I don't have to stay at any of DD's recommendations.

Think of the money you will save

[MeMock]

Well I am open to suggestions Mr Dog, Best place under 1000 baht please that accepts Australians.

[dirtydog]

Tai Pan is only 55 dollars with breakfast, loads more hotels and their websites here.

under 1000 baht

Tai Pan is only 55 dollars

.....and Australians are meant to be stupid?

No time for breakfast anyway as I have a 6am bus to catch.

Is that pub called the Siclor or Trilor still happening?

Is the pub you are talking about located on Thanon Setthathirat opposite to a Wat? Deafening music? Full of kathoeys? If it is then it must be the Samlor pub. Place has gone kinda quiet. Guess has something to do with more competition on offer these days.

[Jet Gorgon]

^ Thanks, BB. Yes, the Samlor. It was great the first few trips, but as you said, it started filling up with noisy folks. I liked it as it was near my hotel. Not easy walking around late at night there.

[Watanaporn]

Hi,does this hotel have a website? Any other hotels to recommend? I am going later this month.

[MeMock]

Keep searching Teak Door, there are heaps of threads about them.

[Watanaporn]

Thank you MeMock!

Yes, it took them a day to answer my email requesting a room - they are full when I am going on the 26th of this month.

Shame that, I was really looking forward to staying there. I might call them next week and see if they've had any cancellations.

Anyone suggest anywhere else nearby?

[jandajoy]

LOL

We're in the same boat.

Flying in on the 26th. then out on the 31st.

[Thai Pom]

Stayed there last week, still good value. Great French Meal near the fountain and the bakery is still as good as ever.

Vayakorn Guest House is nice - but often full.

[MeMock]
