Laos Attapeu Province
Project gen by hotsia
Attapeu is the southernmost province of Laos bordering Vietnam and Cambodia. Few Thai travelers visit here, but some do. I once read online that over 50% of the population in Attapeu are Vietnamese. Attapeu is a place to visit mainly when passing through Vietnam's Kontum and Gia Lai provinces to make the trip worthwhile. However, if you drive yourself and explore several places in Attapeu, it is also worth it. I traveled back from Kontum, Vietnam and stopped to visit Attapeu. Car rental services are available in Attapeu town.
I just walked around the morning and evening markets and strolled along the Sekong River. Attapeu is where two rivers meet with different colors: the Setaman (Setaman) River flowing from Vietnam through Dak Cheung, joining the Sekong River in Attapeu. The view here is beautiful. You can enjoy walking along the Sekong River in Attapeu. Another recommended spot is the lively morning market of Attapeu locals, featuring many colorful fish from the Sekong River. Regarding accommodation, Attapeu has many options. Air-conditioned rooms cost per night
baht, fan rooms cost 200-300 baht per night. Accommodation prices are considered expensive compared to other places. I stayed at Phutwong Guesthouse for per night. For food, I usually ate at a Lao restaurant opposite Wat Mai. If very hungry like me, you can buy fish from the market and have them fried for you. Fried 'pla na noo' fish is delicious. This restaurant serves tasty food; even former Thai Prime Minister Chuan Leekpai once stopped here while traveling to Vietnam, as seen in the photo on the wall. mr.hotsia December 2010 Sekong River flowing through Attapeu town
