Thread: Long Stay Vientiane (3 Months)

Hey all.


I currently reside in Bangkok, ive been staying in Bangkok for the last 16 months and the place is finally getting on my nerves.


I went to Vientiane for a Visa run last year, and i fell in love with the place.


So now im thinking i will make a 3 month exodus to Vientiane, but i need advices on where to long stay there.



My budget aint huge, i got aproximatly 38 000 THB a month to spend, total, and that should include everything, living cost, food and drink etc.


I need advice on what hotels and guesthouses offer long stay discounts, or generall tips about longstaying in Vientiane, it would be greatly apriciated.



Or if somone know any serviced apartments that offer 3 month rentals to a good price then that would be interesting aswell.



Perhaps good clean guesthouses that offer long stay alternatives to decent prices are my best bet, so any concrete tips about such places would be grand.



Best Regards.

I think you should have a rethink.....Only if you cannot refrain from having any sexual encounters for 3 months.

You're best bet is to book into any decent looking guest house for the first night or two and spend a day looking for a cheaper long term place.

If you're looking for a wild time, go to Vangvieng.
You can get anything there.

If you want a more relaxed culturally orientated time, fly to Luangprabang.
The ladies are very conservative.

If you want more of a city trip, hang around Vientiane.
Sex is no big problem there, be discreet.

Expect to pay about Bht 11,000/mth or less for a long stay room off season.

probably better off finding somewhere to chill
in thailand.
who'd want to risk 5,000 bucks for a romp.

lao is nice but it is communist and so lots and lots of nice spies around.

or head further up to yunnan, china where the ladies are gorgeous and hassle free.
for a small price.
you can get the visa real easy in vientian.

Stay in Nong Khai many lovely ladies there and no risk in getting your balls shot off

Lots of teenage Lao girls there!

Cambodia?

Think i would feel like a fish out of water in Cambodia tbh.

Alwarner's got the idea.
Cambodia is cheaper, girls are lovely and more available and no law against adult sex.
The local grass is cheap and good and more or less legal as the locals use it for cooking.

It's gonna be hot there though.

In Lao, the only time you get busted for sex is if you're caught shagging or even with a lady visiting your room.
I've never seen or head of it happening in 5 years there, back and forth.

Chiangmai and Pai are nice places, the girls are fun and cheaper than Bkk.
If you like Thailand, go there.
You'd like Pai, a bit hippy- happy but very laid back.

After one week, Bkk sux, IMO.

It seems that having a Lao GF is now as well accepted as smoking weed in Lao, so just wait that sea level raise a bit and reaches Vientiane, then Lao will be called paradise :-)

That's the impression I get now, too.

I love Laos.
May I recomend "the dogcatcher does Laos again" thread.
Don't go to girls houses. I don't sleep at laosy's, too risky.
Aside from that the village is a shithole.

is it something to do with ur conscience incase ur family ask where she came from,
or u just like taking in poor little girls who need a bed n feed for the night??

isn't a butterfly girl a covert street walker??

Don't get me wrong I used to love a Brass , used to get em all ova the world.

P.s don't do loas. wears u down if ur after city life.
how about Chang mai , birds/ view n cheap.
if u like "butterfly girls how about saigon , loads of em trawling around there!!

I just prefer to have one girl over the duration of my stay, one that cleans, do the dishes, laundry, food shopping and functions like a turist guide, cannot come close to that with a regular 1000 bath a night bar girl.

Ya, Chiang Mai might be a better choice tbh, are there decent rooms available for around 10 000 bath monthly there?

^^ Chang mai is lovely , its got all u want, mind u u sound demanding though I mean , shopping,cleaning n all that, my gf will do it but we have to share and I've built her up to that for the past 8 yrs.
good luck though hope u find a diamond , they are out there

Chiangmai is cool.
Room for that price, AC or fan HW ensuite Electricity usually extra. Old City. Central.
Girls, well you'e gonna have to look around.
Pay about Bht 4,500<6,ooo/mth for a full time housekeeper etc.
Eat Thai food for about Bht 4,000/mth.
Sex, by arrangement, different folks different strokes.

Air is shit in Chiangmai, esp. Nov and March, the same all around the North as the farmers burn their rice straw.
Pai is better, and the rate a bit cheaper.

Try Udon. Think Soi 2 is your destination if you like young ones.
You might get robbed though, or stabbed, or shot, or arse raped.
Good clean fun!

Been reading up some on Pai now, looks like a perfect place to chill for a month if it wasnt for the effing police pulling over random tourists for drug testing, and raiding bars etc for drugs.

Sure you dont have to smoke and the problem is solved, but if the dope is "in your face" daily im sure eventually i couldnt resist an toke or two.

Chiang Mai still sounds like an better option to me i think.

Both in CM and Pai, as is anywhere in Thailand,the cops do random searches and tests.
Use your intuition and be discreet.
If you're gonna hang out with posers and wild out wearing a ganja T-shirt, you'll be noted and in a round up you'll be targeted anywhere.

I've just finished reading that thread, it's a good one, made me laugh, esp. Laosy!

Vientiane and district's got a lot going for itself now, and still cheaper than Luangprabang and Vangvieng.

yeah, V town is cool.
