Laos - Vientiane Restaurants and Bars

[dirtydog]

If you are hungering for some real Laos food they still have chicken head stalls, think they went in the noodle soup

[Aquaman]

That doesnt look too good.

Blatant prostitution is illegal in Laos. The laws are enforced fairly heavily. Most of the seedier nightlife happens underground, or so I'm told.

Great food pics , but I was bored to tears in Laos

I don't know if this is true everywhere but the hotel staff in my hotel turned into corridoor girls when their shift was over.

[quote=Mr Earl;523947]I could live there just for those NaZim indian restaurants. They're also in Vang Vien and Luang Prabang.

There's another branch of this family-owned chain in Huay Xai across the river from Chiang Khong.

I went to Nazims on Monday, ordered chicken jalfrezi, steamed rice and garlic naan. The garlic naan was great, the steamed rice was steamed rice and the chicken jalfrezi was 95% vegetables, there were a few bitty strands of chicken in a mountain of cabbage, taste wise average to be honest and the value was poor for what was offered. I was pretty disappointed with the meal and will think twice about eating there again.

I ate at a couple of different places for breakfast and I cant say any was worth the 30,000 kip they charged for 2 eggs, ham, crap bacon, stupid hot dog cocktail sausages, coffee and bread, the bread being the only redeeming factor. Ive had better for the same price in Thailand.

hello
another nice tread.


been to Vientanne afew times as well as LP.

V gets a bit boring when you are used to pattaya living.

regarding the girls they are easy available in bars and #snackbars# where you select from the fishbowl and then join you at your table and you make a deal.
Have the same system in PP at many local restaurants.
A few gh/hotels dont allow girls in the room, but just ask before booking.
Ive tried Nazir but it was not to my liking. PP have great cheap indian food.
But they have great noodle soup in laos, wow, I really miss the noodle soup, and there is a lot of sweet girls.
Most of the massage places have nice girls and i have often brought two with me for dining and talking. And usually they give you a happy ending. Sweet girls.
They make their mama proud, for sure
Close to the wat by the river you have afew nice massage places and a traditional sauna. Around 25 b to enter the basic sauna facilities and on the second floor the have two lassies giving massasje. The last time i was there it was very much a local homo place so for me beeing keen on ladies it was a change for the worse. But check it out. In the same area as the swedish place.

If you do the visa run on your own you save 5000 bath compared to the 9900 b tours (double entry)
Regarding accomondation i find it a bit pricier than most places in thailand, but still ok.
In PP there is a million gh , newly built in good location ac/tv 7/10 us a night, but laos is more expensive. And so are the girls.
But for me going alone i get bored. To quiet in the night. I miss good gyms and loads of girls avaiable everywhere.
But the city is pleasant during daytime. The traffic is polite and quiet and the boulevards are wide and nice. its tidy
My friend did afew days on a dirt bike in lao during the rainy season and that was a kick. He wasnt happy about Vang V because of all the fucking know it all backpackers, but he recomended the biking.

Evertime ive been there i tell myself i wont come back, but i do.
Must be the noodle soup.

To add to the food thread, this is the best Value in Lao. a Bottle of Chilean Cab Sav and a French roll with salad and Pork Terrine for less than 300 Bt.
Fvcking so awesome I ordered one more of each after finishing this one. The bread was great in fact much better than the Scandi Bakery one I had this morning. The wine was more than adequate, the 2 nd bottle even better.
If only the same could be had in Thailand.

Hi..it looks good. Where is this place?

Yeah come on PP, where is it?

As a farang can i get Visa at the border? Is it same as in Cambodia 20$ "Entrance-fee". Are the Bordercrossings restricted for use by farangs?
