Khai Bok Wan accommodation from AU$16

Great location looking out at the Mekong River. The room was fine except there were some tiny ants looking for food on the lamp table and the bed was too hard to allow me to sleep comfortably on my side. If you sleep on your back, then no problem....

I think this is my fourth or fifth stay at The White Inn. My first stay was April 2018, and my last was just before the pandemic in September 2019. I've been travelling to Cambodia since 2022 but decided to switch back to Laos for a change. After my first stay in 2018, I recall posting something along the lines of "I can't see any reason why I'd stay someone else in Nong Khai." And I haven't. Lift has improved in speed and the cleanliness, room comfort, quietness, and staff professionalism is still five stars. I arrived earlier than expected so I left my passport for the well spoken receptionist to scan and went for lunch at one of the local restaurants. Came back. All ready to go. It may sound odd, but I'm fairly sure I've stayed in that same room at least twice before. Anyway, a comfortable, enjoyable experience with bottled water, good water pressure, and a hard comfortable bed. And the pricing is spot on, too. 700 or so Baht a night. Will return again next year.

It was quiet and had a pool. Staff were lovely
