Thanaleng Vacations from $1,391

Cute and clean bungalows. We really liked the cafe restaurant next door. The only thing that would have made the homestay experience perfect was to include breakfast and a better sink faucet.

The hotel was a highlight of our stay in Vang Vieng. Watching from the pool as the balloons took off for sunset tours was unforgettable

Spent a week in 204 ~ My room and the hotel grounds were as depicted in online photos ~ Shower from icy to scalding with a digital display of temperature so, with a little practice, I could hit 48 degrees, as I like it ~ Wi-fi was adequate if not super-strong ~ The room TV will surf YouTube and other services I did not really explore ~ Staff was consistently upbeat and positive ~ The hotel is on the quiet side of the river ~ The pool gets sun from morning to around 16:00 ~ My room had a view of the river, could watch kids jump from the old bridge into the muddy Nam Song most days ~ It’s a ten-minute walk to the night market, half-hour wander to Jang cave ~ Breakfast from a menu with a half-dozen options ~ Had smoked Atlantic salmon with cream cheese on toast most mornings, will post a couple pics ~ Left quite happy with the Intimate Riverside and do not hesitate to recommend it ~
