My favourite place in 10 days Laos. We stayed in the lovely bungalows overlooking the river (there are also cheaper options further back with joint bathroom) Owners and staff are very friendly. Food and drinks are varied and good. Not cheap, but they do have to go for quite some trouble to get it there. Three nights was pefect: 1 day Kong Lor Cave (do not drive there but enjoy a taxiboat), 1 day self guided cave walk and kayaking. You get a taste of adventure mixed with an understated luxury feeling. Not easy to get to: we heard other travellers took 12 hours public transport from Vientiane. We did private transfer, 7 hours 200US i think (check hotel website) which was fine for 4 people. All very much worth it. (I only wished the dining set up/ligthing was cozier. And that is a tiny complaint to have)
