Dates & Availability
Single travelers:
Single travelers may avoid paying a single supplement by electing to travel on a ‘Willing to share’ room basis on our Small Group Journeys. If we are unable to match a ‘Willing to share’ traveler with another of the same sex, we will confirm a single room at the twin share price. We advise travelers requiring a single room to book and pay the single supplement. When sharing a hotel room with another ‘Willing to share’ non-smoker, you must not smoke in the hotel room. We will use our reasonable efforts to match non-smokers and travelers of approximately the same age, but this not always possible and we cannot guarantee it. The ‘Willing to share’ option is not available on Gold Journeys or for travelers under the age of 18. The ‘Willing to share’ option is subject to request for booking requests received within 45 days of scheduled departure date. Once a ‘Willing to share’ option is confirmed, full amendment or cancellation fees will apply if the booking is changed to a single supplement within 65 days prior to departure.
Check Current Availability, prices, specials with Insider Journeys.
The total tour cost includes the tour price (regular or promotional) and the compulsory local payment. The promotional price is subject to change. Check directly with the operator for the latest price offer. The tour operator requires you to pay only the tour price to purchase your travel. The compulsory local payment will be paid when you join the trip. All prices are based on double, twin or triple share occupancy. Solo passengers will be accommodated in a double, twin or triple room according to availability with a passenger(s) of the same gender. Single supplement only needs to be paid if the passenger does not want to share and requests their own room. Discounts can only be applied at the time of booking and cannot be added at a later date, regardless of any changes made to the original booking.
Prices may vary due to local taxes and trip seasonality. Click "Request Info" to inquire directly with the tour operator for the final trip price.

Accommodation
Laluna Hotel & Resort
Phetsokxai
Kamu Lodge
Sala Prabang
This charming and simple property with six separate buildings is located in the center of town on the banks of the Mekong. More like a guesthouse than a hotel, each room has its own style. Each building dates to colonial times and has been lovingly restored according to UNESCO guidelines.
Vansana Plain of Jars
Thavonsouk Bungalows
Mandala Boutique Hotel
Formerly a private villa, this chic boutique hotel is located in central Vientiane down a quiet leafy lane, just a short walk from the Mekong riverfront and Wat Simeuang. Spacious rooms blend French-colonial design with Asian touches such as natural silks and earthy wood tones. Enjoy breakfast in the peaceful, leafy courtyard in the cafe pavilion.
