Chapter 492: Accommodation in Luang Prabang
Accommodation in Luang Prabang is not cheap, but there are still some hotels that offer simple, clean, and not very elaborate rooms.
Lower-end rooms have public restrooms, cold water and fans, while higher-priced rooms offer hot water, air conditioning and private bathrooms.
Rates in the off-season are indicative and can be counter-offered, the best value accommodation options can be found within a short walk from the historic city, and if you are really tired, you can also take a taxi, which is not too expensive to go to any hostel, which is the better place.
"There are a lot of people here who are in this industry, all waiting for business at the door, and if they meet tourists who don't know where to stay, there will be people who come forward to solicit customers, promote their own hotel advertisements, and pull them to the hotels attached with flyers in their hands. ”
"There are still a lot of tourists here, there is a large lawn in front of it, which can be considered a good budget accommodation in Luang Prabang, the rooms in the main building are separated by wooden walls with public toilets, and the new houses across the street have more upscale facilities. ”
"However, the price is also proportional to the grade, more upscale, the price will be more expensive, some tourists have better economic conditions, you can live in more expensive hotels, if the economic conditions are not good, you can lower some requirements, live in the mid-range, or resist the hotel. ”
"The conditions of the hotel are different, the price is also different, or for tourists to choose freely!"
"However, when I first came here, I either followed a tour group or had a familiar friend with me, or I was just here, and if I was not familiar with it, I would be easily deceived by bad people. ”
"It's important to learn to be smarter, don't be gullible in everything, and be vigilant yourself!"
The small rooms in this building have simple facilities, but they are passable, the terrace restaurant is full of convivial atmosphere, it is a good place to meet customers, many people praise this restaurant, but when we visited, we didn't find anything unusual about the service, and the prices on the banks of the Mekong River and in the city center will be slightly higher.
"I'll take you to a hotel with a very affordable price to spend the night!" Mr. Liang said.
Zhou Sen nodded, "Okay, it's getting late, we really should go back, let's clean up and follow Lao Liang!"
This unpretentious hostel has ten very spacious, tidy rooms with fans or air conditioning, the upstairs rooms are a bit quieter, with some comfortable seating outside, a couple of sofas next to the reception, and a clothesline, and in the off-season, the owner lowers the price of the room.
Located across the road from the Mekong River, this neat little inn is run by a friendly English-speaking family, all rooms have private bathrooms with hot water, and are cleaned daily, moving towards a mid-priced option, but if you have money to spare, the clean bedding and wooden shutters are still worth the money.
Zhou Sen walked into the room, looked around, and looked, the room here is much simpler than the domestic hotel, and he is really a little unaccustomed to living in Laos when he first comes to Laos.
When I came to this place, I still had a good impression of the food here, but the room I lived in was in urgent need of repainting, and the bathroom needed to be scrubbed.
Lao Liang said: "I'm sorry, the conditions of the room booked for everyone tonight may not be very good, Laos is still relatively backward here, and it can't be compared with China, so everyone will just take it!"
"The condition of this hostel is not great, but there are advantages, the location and price of this hostel means that it is a good choice, especially if you have just disembarked and there are limited budget accommodation options in and around the old town, but the following hostels are good value for money. ”
The neighing of foals from nearby villages and the laughter of children break the otherwise peaceful sojourn life, and the nights here are still very simple, but you can experience a different environment of a township, and you can still hear some noises, unlike the "whooshing" sound of cars driving in the big city, here is more of a township characteristic.
It's rare to see the bustle of the city, the crowds of people, and the hustle and bustle of the big city that never sleeps, and there are still a lot of cars and people laughing on the streets late at night.
There is only the tranquility of the township at night, and even the smell of horse manure, which is all new and special for Zhou Sen.
After staying in this hotel for one night, everyone said that the accommodation conditions here were not good, and asked Lao Liang to change to another hotel with better conditions.
Lao Liang agreed, and the next day he took everyone to find another hotel, and this time the accommodation conditions were different.
Featuring a plush king-size bed, a balcony overlooking the rice fields, satellite TV, a Lao-style massage at your doorstep, and a huge bathtub to soak away the mud and sand from your pores.
A huge swimming pool is not yet finished, and there is a small shuttle bus that runs between the city centre and the airport, making it easy to dine, and although you can enjoy the all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet here, you may prefer to eat in town.
Located at the bend of a road, not far from the Nankang River, the restaurants, bars and beer gardens across the road are also very attractive.
The food here is mostly Western, with hamburgers and fries, but the convivial atmosphere and occasional live music attract locals.
The Peak Bar features beehive-like rooms and corridors with candles lit inside, as well as outdoor tables and chairs where you can enjoy tapas and a selection of home-brewed drinks.
"It's also very popular here, and there are still a lot of people who come here for entertainment and leisure, so let's follow me to experience it!"
Liu Da feats the camera to shoot down, the unique street scene here has also become a beautiful landscape, at night, people are still very happy, due to the hot weather, there are many people who come out to take advantage of the cool wind, groups of three or five, talking and laughing.
The conversation was very pleasant, and Lao Liang also took everyone to sit down in front of the table and chairs in the open air, listened to the sound of the guitar, and asked for some snacks and drinks.
In the small beer garden, there are some low stools with cushions to soothe people, and everyone can also rest here, Lao Liang told Zhou Sen that there are also the Royal Ballet Theater and the Royal Palace Museum nearby, and there are still many attractions worth visiting.
It is also a shopping destination, and there are several handicraft and souvenir shops in the nearby streets, and many villagers from far away come to Luang Prabang with their wares in the hope of selling a good price to a steady stream of foreigners, and the better the customers are dressed, the higher the boss's offer, so bargaining is required.
"It's still interesting to find some goods here!" Lao Liang said.
Zhou Sen nodded, "It's still very popular, and it's still fun to shop here!"
