Book your hotels! August 6, 2006
Posted by Veomani in hotels.1 comment so far
I’ve been looking online and searching for the best hotels in Laos. I have listed hotels from Vientiane and Luang Prabang, with prices ranging from “Backpackers” to “High Rollers” (high end). Click here for the hotel recommendations or on the tab “hotels in Laos” above to see the list.
I would recommend that everyone book their rooms as soon as possible, especially in Luang Prabang. I have received news from friends in Laos that December is an extremely high season for Luang Prabang and hotels will fill up very quickly. Keep in mind that Luang Prabang is a small town and most hotels/guest houses have very few rooms (10-20 rooms in most places). There is still choice now, but if you wait until September/October, rooms will likely fill up. I have made several phone calls to various hotels/guest houses and already, rooms are starting to fill up.
If you want us to help you book rooms, please let us know ASAP. That way we can also try to book people together in a few places. If you want us to (more…)

We already have a good group of people who have signed up for the mini trip to Vang Vieng. To remind you, on the 27th of December we start off the trip with a nice dinner in Vientiane. The next morning we leave for Vang Vieng, where we will hang out for two days, doing fun stuff and getting to know each other. The 30th of December we drive further north to Luang Prabang. For more detailed information, read this post.
From a lot of people we still don’t know if they want to join. Please let us know as soon as possible. We want to book accommodation in Vang Vieng very soon. We are looking at a place that we think is nice with views over the river and the karst mountains. It’s called The Elephant Crossing. However, it has only 25 rooms, so we don’t want to wait much longer to book them.
The rates are from $25-$35. If you wanto to stay at at some place cheaper, let us know and we’ll find another guest house for you.
If we hear back from you soon we will reserve the rooms for you. If we hear much later we can’t guarantee that rooms will be available in this hotel and we would have to book in another hotel.
So please let us know if you are coming on the trip with us! You can leave a comment page or send an email to wedding@hosman.com.
Thanks!

The Ducth TV program “RTL Travel” has done a travel program on Laos. It’s worth watching, even if you don’t understand Dutch. Click here to see the show online. Tiny screen, though.
