The guesthouse is located in a very quiet place, just by the Nam Khan river. It's not central but the guesthouse offers a free shuttle service to take you to the city center (5 minutes). As a result, the place is peaceful. The staff is very friendly and the huge garden is in itself a wonder, an invitation to contemplation... More

Philipp, Lay and staff work hard to make this a very pleasant resting place for travellers. I stayed in a river view bungalow for a full week and took advantage of the well-tended gardens, good food, free bicycle and shuttle bus to the city. The bungalows are large and roomy but a little dark due to the balcony overhang. This,... More

This guesthouse is a little bit of heaven tucked away from only 10 tuk-tuk minutes away from the heart of Luang Probang. You feel like you are staying in your own private resort! Breakfast is delivered to your specifications every morning to your front deck where your futons are unfolded for your comfort. They will even deliver cocktails or dinner... More

Really nice place for a very good value. The riverside bungalows are worth the extra cost, as they face out to the Nam Khan River with a great view. The balconies are quite nice, with comfortable seats where you will be served breakfast if you order it. A great place to relax with a beer. Good service from the hotel... More

I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed this bed & breakfast. I wish I could have camped out here for a month. I stayed in two of their river view bungalows which had wonderful balconies where we took our breakfast and in some cases just hung out. Their garden view bungalows also look cute and are slightly less... More

Fantastic view of the river, not expensive, very comfortable, happy staff, good laughs, perfect service, decent breakfast, beautiful gardens... It's all true. Don't worry that there is no air con, it's perfect at night. It's very handy for the tiny airport, and there is a shuttle bus into town. Within one hour of landing we had hopped on the minibus...

We loved our stay here - end of story. Location is a little out of the center of LP, but easily reachable via a 7 minute bike ride, or by free shuttle from the guesthouse. Staff were unfailingly helpful and kind. We had a river-facing bungalow, that although did not have AC or TV, was delightful. All food from restaurant... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Thongbay. The river bungalows offer privacy and a unique view of life on the river...locals escaping the heat with a quick swim, fishermen out on their boats with their lanterns, and yes, even karaoke. We particularly enjoyed our lovely breakfasts delivered to our balcony (at our leisure), as opposed to rushing to be up... More

We had a wondersful stay there in a family bungalow facing the river. Breakfast (not included) was ordered the evening before and served on the private terrace of the bungalow on the hour of our convenience. The guesthouse is a bit out of town, but free shuttle service is provided at certain hours during the day. Staff is really great... More
