had a long and interesting conversation over coffee with Prof David frm Florida who just rented a bungalow here in Vientiane for USD350/.. to spent time writin his book..
there are many small boutique hotels in the northwest of Vientiane.. (along Mekong, boundary to northeast of Thailand)
... and it's fully booked.hotels are not cheap here.. even this 3 story, boutique hotel call Riverine is priced @USD70/..
I stayed at this old hotel called Lang Xang.. in the town by Mekong river.. at USD48/
Near-by Patuxai monument stands The Regal..
Thai owned Lao Plaza..
Don Chan Palace.. USD160/ for a standard room..
just to check out the airport.. about 5km away from the heart of town.. a glance at a few larger hotels as I entered Vientiane, it does tell you this is the capital city and a business center... (that's after comparing the slow and 'lazy' L. Prabang and V. Vieng..)
