Phimphone Guest House

From Pakse: head to the main bus station in Pakse (8km from the centre of town) and jump on any of the many Song Tao's heading south to or through Champasak Town. The 45 km journey should take around 1 hour depending on the ferry situation. The Song Tao will drive onto the ferry barge and take you across the Mekong River to Champasak Town. After the ferry, you will turn left onto the main street of Champasak Town with the centre being 2km away and Wat Phou and Phimphone Guest House being 8km further down the road. Check with the driver if the vehicle goes all the way up to Wat Phou (most go to an intersection approximately 2km from the temple where there is an overhead sign welcoming you to Wat Phou). Alternatively you can get off the song tao in the centre of Champasak and hire a bike from one of the many guest houses which offer this service.
