Scam

Before you tak your slow boat to Luang a man might suggest that he help you organise a guesthouse before you arrive in pak beng . He will probabaly say that there are only limited guest houses and many toursts and will ask for 5 dollars and he will organise it for you.
this is rubish as there are always vacancies and the guesthouses on average cost only $1 a night.
heaps of people got conned and this dude made heaps of money of those tourists.

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
