Sitting on the banks of the Mekong, the Sanctuary Pakbeng Lodge is midway between the World Heritage Town of Luang Prabang, and Huay Xai, the main border crossing between Northern Thailand and Northern Laos. Both towns are reachable by boat, within a day. The Lodge faces the Mekong Elephant Park, which is dedicated to the protection of elephants and offers a wonderful opportunity to discover the life of an animal important in Lao culture.

The Sanctuary Pakbeng Lodge suggests that you stay a few days in this protected area off the beaten track. You will enjoy the comfortable atmosphere, the picturesque sunrise and sunset over the Mekong, and the comings and goings of the different boats that dock near the Lodge’s beach. Your visit will be one of relaxation but also of unusual encounters and an immersion into traditional Lao life.
