Coss Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 I second that, I've never been but will be doing so in the near future, I'd like the skinny on any bars too, I know there are some, NG tells me so but he's not been on board for a while...

Julian2 Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Is the Danish Baker's still going? Haven't stopped off there for a few years now. And no, it's not a bakery.... Other than that a slow walk along the river front will surely reveal establishments with people drinking. (And girls fluttering their eye-lashes at them).

LoongNuat Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Danish bar still there, but Kai(Danish owner) split with his wife. She now owns it. Short walk towards the river, take a left on Rim Kong Road and walk about 50 meters. There you'll find Brendan's bar named Noi's. He named it after his wife since she does all the work, while he drinks Chaang beer all day. Good food, cold beer, geat music, pool table. Across the street are several smaller bars that fill up late at night. More bars on the river on the east side of the market and a few more scattered around town. They even have "the laundry bar" where you can do your laundry in their washing machine and dryer and sit at the bar while you wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoongNuat Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Will the girls do your ironing for you? Never did my laundry there, but one particular lady working there could definetly work out the wrinkles in my pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobbledonk Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 I don't know if its a reflection on Vientiane (!), but everything I read on expat life in Laos points to Nong Khai as their 'escape valve' when they need a little more excitement in their lives. I've only seen it during the day, but I can imagine myself at one of the riverside cafes at sunset, gazing into the liquid pools across from me and thinking 'I wonder what those poor bastards are doing back in BKK ?'
