Few places we enjoy going to get a pour over

• Caffeine

Local Lao coffee and international coffee beans with a fruity profile. Light roast and low biterness. Very clean and fresh place with a/c. Excellent cappuccino also. 

• 124 Thaluang

Local coffee beans with usually a balanced profile, medium roast. Japanese minimalist atmosphere and some desserts available. 

• Rin Cafe 2 

Small place busy with locals taking away their iced drinks, Rin also do hot pour over with local and international beans. They roast on-site.

• Miss Noy Motorbike (Yves from Belgium) : Honda Click scooters or Honda Wave 125. Around 8$/day. He can provide a lot of informations to help you do the Boloven loop. 

• Bolaven trail (Xavier from France) : He provides good motocross and also has a guesthouse with prices similar to us in the center of Pakse.

Where to go from Pakse ?

• Boloven loop : we suggest to stop by Jhai Coffee in Paksong, many different coffee varieties to discover (Catimor, Typica, Java, Catura) and nice grounded atmosphere.
• Sabaidee Valley is a comfortable and peaceful place to sleep when starting the loop (30$/night) and restaurant on-site.
• Tad Fane waterfall : famous waterfall on the loop with a zipline and a busy tea/coffee shop near the entrance (Lak40)
• The 4000 islands is also a famous destination further South near Cambodia but we've never been there.

2 big supermarkets close to each other, at walking distance from Dao Heuang Market :

• Friendship Supermart
