Pakbeng Overview

Pakbeng is a beautiful riverside village on the banks of the Mekong River, halfway between Huay Xai and Luang Prabang, a wonderful place to observe the laid-back sleepy village life. Take it easy, enjoy the atmosphere and stunning scenery while sipping cocktails at Le Grand Pakbeng's poolside bar and getting pampered in the spa.
Pak Beng is a small village in Laos, on the Mekong River about halfway between the Thai border at Huay Xai and Luang Prabang, Laos. Pak Beng is connected by a sealed road with Oudomxai along the Nam Beng River. The town is the overnight stop for boats running between Luang Prabang and Huay Xai. The slow boats which run between Huay Xai and Luang Prabang over a period of two days spend the night moored in Pak Beng.
