Good morning, Laos!
I am about two weeks away from arriving in Vientiane. I will be teaching English at a private school in the city. I've spent the past couple of weeks reading blogs and articles about 'expat' life in Vientiane, and must say it sounds like a bit of a mixed bag.
I'm in rural northeastern Thailand at the moment, and really looking forward to coming to Vientiane.
I am travelling with a friend, and we will need to find some temporary (cheap) accommodation for the first month that we're there...any suggestions?
So tell me....what's it reeeallly like living in Vientiane? What about two farang girls on their own?
Looking forward to meeting new people and learning more of Lao culture and language!

Welcome to Laos (I'm speaking like a Roman!)! The language is Lao, the people r Lao, the country is Pathed Lao or Meuang Lao. People drive on RHS of the road. People like eating in Lao, like Thailand, I suppose! Depending where you eat you can spend 1/2 the price of upper end restaurants. If you are coming to VTE, it is not big. ATM it is quite pretty with the city getting ready for the ASEAN meeting, it is decked out with Xmas lights, all the kerbs r being painted. Traffic is craazy! I hope your stay is a pleasant one! Daovieng PS What is waiting for 2 Falang women. I hope surprises and excitement!Good luck with the jobs!

In terms of accommodation, if you could give address of where you will work n your budget, I could make suggestion on accommodation. I assume you will not have transport initially.

Hey Makeethood! Thanks for the reply. Luckily we have jobs sorted already, so now just looking forward to getting there. I've heard nothing but good things about VTE. We will be there by next weekend. Thanks so much for the nutshell summary...I'm sure there is so much more to see and discover. Can't wait! Have a beautiful day (it's pouring with rain and so pretty here in the northeast of Thailand today).

Hello,
I'm not sure if you've settle down in VTE or not yet.
As, I'm a new member of this page and just sing-in 2 days ago.
I'm a Lao living in France.
My husband is French and we've a little boy 2 year and a half.
We planed to go back to Laos this year. Hopefully in the next few months.
That's why, I starts to look for a house for rent and just wondering if you fond your accommodation.
If no, you could find it on this website ( immo agency ).
