"Vientiane in Laos"

If you have an oppotunity to go to Vientiane, I reccomend "Mixay Gesthouse" on Norkeokoummane road. The hostel is cheap, clean and staff were very nice, helpful. It was comfortable.

"Udon Thani in Thai"

It was very hard to find hostel in Udon Thani because there was not much hostel around bus station and every hostel which I found were not nice. I could just find 3 hostel.

I stayed Sritrakarn Hotel which is just front of bus turminal. The hostel owner and staff were very nice, but beds were very hard like floor,,,, I couldn't sleep much,,,
