Route: Pakse - Thakhek
Distance: 336 km
Hotel: Villa Thakhek
After refueling in Pakse we started riding towards Thakhek around 9:00 am. Although the road is good, we rode with great care as there were buffaloes, cows and dogs crossing the road unexpectedly.
We stopped at Paksong to refuel and rest. The owner of the petrol station was very friendly and helpful and tried very hard to assist with his little English. We arrived in Thakhek town around 2:30 pm and went to have a heavy lunch at Sabaidee Sunset Restaurant by the Mekong River before we checked in Thakhek Travel Lodge for Kip100000/night.
We were lucky to get a room as the resort was fully booked for tonight. As we did not make any reservations, we settled with a room without air-conditioning.
