Another good spot to say in Nong Kiaw is the Nong Kiau Riverside Resort.

Centrally located at the bridge in town it is convenient to restaurants a few minutes walk away like Deems Indian and Chennai Indian (both don’t allow alcohol) and Vangmany ( Lao food) just at the end of the bridge and has great views of the river.

There’s a heritage feel to the rooms that all have lovely balconies.

It is well priced and offers a pick up from Luang Prabang (for around $220 US return).

There’s a safe and tea making facilitates in the room and a lovely restaurant with a good menu and great river view.
