I come from Thailand and I had to catch the bus to Vientiane so I thought staying there one night, I booked the hotel online, when I went there there were an old lady who didn't understand a single English word, after 10 minutes I found a guy who could speak English and she told me "I do not accept online booing" she had the room prices written there, 100,000 air conditioned room, 600,000 fan room. I haven't stayed there since she needed the local currency, and I couldn't get any information from her about the city due to lack of English
