Sleeping: The cheapest hostel in Vientiane is on the left side if you enter the town (sleepy vientiane is not really a city) from the north (luangprabang). unfortunately i dont remember the name, but it s only 2$. in this area are also many other hostels, so get of your car instead of being dropped in the center as this saves you a 20min walk.
