Vangvieng Orchid Guesthouse 2*

Vang Vieng Orchid is right on the riverside, behind where the market used to be. It clings to the hillside and has a tall river frontage. Clean, spacious rooms with wooden flooring are a minor change from the Vang Vieng formula. Though a little more expensive than most, those by the riverside do have a balcony with spectacular views of the river, party island and mountain backdrop.
