Lane Xang Hotel
It is now fairly easy to find clean and comfortable accommodation in Vientiane, but in the old days the Lane Xang Hotel was the only place to stay. Like many grandes dames, it is now beginning to show its age. When old Cliffie stayed there, he was the only guest along a dark soviet-style corridor. At least he thought he was, until he found the lizards in the wardrobe. The hotel music system played 'You are my sunshine' from 5 a.m. to the following 1 a.m., but the off button didn't work in the room. Old Cliffie lay on the bed, drinking warm Lao beer, going steadily crazy.
