Vientiane is a relatively compact city, so digital nomads and remote professionals have several good areas to choose from rather than needing to stay in one specific place. The best choice largely comes down to whether you want to be close to the Mekong, restaurants and cafes or somewhere quieter for a longer stay.
Mekong Riverside is one of the most popular areas for visitors, with plenty of restaurants, cafes and bars within easy reach. It’s a good choice if you want to be able to step away from your laptop and have plenty to do nearby, particularly in the evenings.
Ban Haysoke is a central option with a good mix of accommodation, restaurants and cafes. Its location makes it convenient for exploring Vientiane while still having the everyday amenities you’ll want if you’re staying for a week or longer.
That Dam and central Vientiane are worth considering if convenience is your priority. You’ll be close to shops, restaurants and other services, while being well placed to explore different parts of the city.
