Northern Laos
This basic-looking restaurant runs a nightly 'all you can eat' veggie buffet (high season only), as well as serving pizzas, schnitzels, pancakes, soups, sandwiches and shakshuka. Try the Lao Suzy (stew with potato, carrot, eggplant and onion). It also has rapid wi-fi, so you can eat and stream movies. Great Swedish cook.
There are also Trek mountain bikes (50,000K) and Honda dirt bikes (130,000K) for rent. Find it on a corner on the main drag, at the top of the stairs from the boat landing.
