Get in

Most visitors will have to stop here over-night on the slow-boat trip to/from Luang Prabang. It`s also possible to reach the place by bus this is a rough and long option.

By boat

The boat-landing is at the end of Road 2 on the Mekong. Slow boat leave in the morning in both directions. They depart when full but expect to start at around 9am

By road

Pick-ups make the trip to Udom Xai in around 7h and leave at the northern end of town on Road 2.

Get around

There are only a few streets, so walk around.

See

There is nothing to see except the mighty Mekong and rural Laos life

Do

Find a bed, eat something and sleep before power gets off (10pm) ... and prepare for another day on the boat

Buy

Eat

Several guesthouses and some "restaurants" offer food, but don`t expect anything special.

Drink

Sleep

Standards are low at this village near-the-end-of-the-world. Just look around as things change fast. A room with shared bathroom will cost 2US$ while an own Bathrom will costs an extra 1-2US$. Electricity is available from around 6pm to 10pm, while hot water seems to be non-existent.

• Luang Say Lodge, the only up-market option. Can be prebooked on 1 (http://www.mekongcruises.com).
