Yet a walk along here is perhaps the most rewarding trundle in Vientiane. Just before an abrupt right turn in the road is the Sunset Bar. Unassuming would be an overstatement. It seems to have been built up out of driftwood delivered by the Mekong River during the rainy season. Yet somehow it holds together and despite the simplicity exudes a great charm. It also affords some of the best views of a Mekong sunset.
