To head east ask at the main bus station for a bus towards Dom Noun. There is kind a traffic circle right in the center of the town.

Vientiane is the capital city of Laos.
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 (Louangphabang). Unfortunately Worldhitch can't remember the name, but it's only 2$. In this area are also many other hostels, so get of your car here instead of being dropped in the center as this saves you a 20min walk.
