    Motorbike rental in central Pakse 

    • 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 busy tea/coffee shop near the entrance (Lak40)
