We arrived by bus and took a tuk-tuk to the guesthouse, I guess the same applies for the airport. Another option might be a taxi.

I would reserve a bungalow. We stayed there in April last year and booked ahead a few days. We were lucky to get a room but only could stay there for 4 nights out of 6.

We are staying at Thong Bay GH arriving next week. Lay at TBGH has arranged transport from the airport for us. We booked well in advance and made all arrangements through Lay. She has been wonderful to work with. Good luck

Thong Bay is great, we also arranged airport pick-up from them and they waited for our flight that was nearly 2hrs late, then invited us to have family-style dinner with the owners%26#39; family and a couple of other guests, great food and a very warm, welcome atmosphere...only downside is that it is a fair distance from town, 20 min walk to town center.

Thanks all for your answer. Its been very helpfull.

I booked via de website and I guess my holiday can start in a good way thanks to your supply

What is the best way to book a stay here? I can%26#39;t seem to find their official website.

Yeah sounds great! I found it www.thongbay-guesthouses.com/index.htm but no prices? Does anyone know about how much they run?? I usually just get there and negotiate... But should I reserve?? Plus has anyone tried the one in Vientiane? Is it as good? THANKS!!!

prices are there on the website, in LP $18-35; in VT $12-$20

we have stayed at Thongbay in both Vientiane and LP, very different types of places, but were quite happy with both.

In Vientiane, Thongbay is in a friendly residential neighborhood well away from the main part of town, not much right there nearby so a stay here requires a good bit of walking. Staff were much more reserved than the folks in LP, but still friendly and helpful. The old wooden Lao house is gorgeous, lots of wood and antiques, very quiet and peaceful with nice common areas to sit and relax. They had a friendly little white dog who loved attention and a couple of rabbits hopping around in the garden. Our room was $10 (now up to $12 in low season, $14 in high) with fan and spotless shared bath--no one else to share it with at the time, so it was like having pvt bath. I%26#39;m sure there are better bargains to be had in town, much closer to the action, but this place is long on charm and atmosphere.

Just returned from TBGH. Had a bungalow overlooking the river. Most beautiful in the mornings watching workers tend thier fields. Very relaxing watching other people work. We very much prefered this over staying in town. More of a village feel to it. Staff was great and breakfast was wonderful. Should have planned more time in LP.
