The Nongsoda Guesthouse is in Savannakhet, Laos which in the first town you come to after crossing the Mekong River at Mukdahan on the northern Thailand border. If you are heading to Laos to get a new Thai tourist visa in Savannakhet, Laos at the Thai Embassy that is situated there, the Nongsoda Guesthouse is the ideal place to stay since in it situated just around the corner from the Thai Embassy.

From the Nongsoda Guesthouse which is located along the banks of the Mekong on the edge of Savannakhet town it is less than a 5 minute walk to the Thai Embassy where you need to drop your passport and 1,000 baht in the morning before midday for a new Thai tourist or Thai non immigrant visa. The following day you can pick up your passport after 2pm.

If you are simply looking to kick back and relax in Savannakhet Laos for few days the Nongsoda Guesthouse is also in the prime location to access the small town of Savannakhet but don’t expect a whole lot of action since Savannakhet is predominantly a sleepy little town with not a lot going on by day or by night.

The Nongsoda Guesthouse is cheap but the prices vary from 300-500 baht per night depending on what size room you take. All rooms have air conditioning which is rare for a room so cheap as well as TV’s with some English cable channels and hot water in the bathroom. It is pretty basic accommodation but all rooms are clean and are quite a decent size and the staff are very friendly but don’t speak much English.
