I decided to spend an uninterrupted day in Pak Beng by booking two nights. That was a mistake. I’d be one of the very few to do this it seems because the rhythm of the town dances to tourists rushing in in the evening and rushing out in the morning. Nothing happens during the day and it’s even difficult to get somewhere to serve lunch. Even my guesthouse shuts down. There’s no wifi and no staff around to complain to. Anyway it’s nice to have a walk around.
