So GF friendly and not too expensive (under $40 if possible). What I know so far is about La Ong Dao hotel which is fully booked for the time of my stay and Anou which their nightclub is currently closed and under renovation according to a report I read. So what; s another decent option?

Next question where the best place to hunt (for girls) beside MP, or Karaoke? I see in the report something about behind La Ong Dao hotel. Can someone explain further? Is there other clubs or bars? What's the current basic rates ST and LT. Just trying to get the basics covered before I land.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

A few yeears ago I stayed at the Novotel in the capital. At night I hear music, followed my ears. Found a HUGE dance hall filled with girls. This is organized by hotel.

Chose a 7-8 who spoke a little english, listened to the music, made out with her on the couch. Fingered her right there and for $$ took her to my room. They said the policy was to take them out to another hotel. I told them I paid for a double room and she was my double. Reluctantlyu they let me take her upstair with nothing held back don't remeber $ but not much Happy Hunting.

I prefer to think that this forum allows you to know what the market actually is, and guys who go outside of that are just seen as "suckers" and girls will take advantage of them and treat it as a bonus or windfall to be enjoyed.

Never go over 300, 000 kip or around $40 USD. I think $30 USD is reasonable (around 250K kip)

Thanks for advice Benjamin Be. Is La Ong Dao Hotel GF?

Can somebody recommend a hotel with a save box inside the room? I guess this is not the case of La Ong Dao Hotel. I feel much more confortable having quests if I have my valuables in a save box in my room.

There are a few hotels that are cheap (like Anou) that have their own disco downstairs but I think the low price includes roaches etc at no additional cost.

Fantastic link Naughty. I might do this sort of trip one day myself, just for the experience.

I think you can do it for much less than this.

Instead of flying in, take an overnight sleeper train. You can get a first class cabin for two and bring a girl from Bangers to play with on the way for less than the plane fare and save a nights worth of hotel cost and have a really interesting and fun time just getting there. Bring a grocery bag full of goodies and a couple vitamin V's and make a night of it!

I might even offer my date to a few random bellhops just for giggles!

Thanks for the tips RK. I'm flying to Thailand tomorrow for 2 weeks of work and at some point I'll decide if I'll do the Laos trip. I've never been there so I just want to see something new, but not sure if it's worth about US $500 for 2-3 nights, before food, beer and girls!

Anyway, if I come it'll be somewhere around July 22-25. Will anybody be around and want to hang out?
