The breakfast is excellent quality, and the staff are super friendly and helpful, no communication issues whatsoever. The fans in the room were more than efficient in the heat, and the room was large and airy. The common area in the cafe is well equipped with sockets and fans, and perfect for working or chilling out. Falling asleep to the sound of frogs in the nearby river was wonderful :)

There is not much to see in Pakse itself. However, it makes a good base from which to explore Southern Laos. The Bolavan Plateau is nearby for scenery and waterfalls. The Wat Phu temple complex near Champasak is a short distance away. There are some good bars/restaurants (including budget options) if you need somewhere to eat and drink on an evening. It is worth going to the Daolin, Xuan Mai or Sanga (ground floor of the Sanga hostel) restaurants if you want something on the cheaper side. Se Se Wine and Beer is a good place for somewhere to drink but their food choice is a bit limited. A lot of people seem to rate Dok Mai Lao (an Italian restaurant) but was not that impressed with it when I went - maybe I chose the wrong thing as the pizzas looked good. The Immigration Office is in Pakse, near the market in the centre, if you need to extend your visa. However, bear in mind it is only open for limited hours Monday to Friday. I was told to be there for 2pm.
We chose the more expensive 4,000 island tour expecting to see more. We spent 5 minutes at 2 waterfalls, which are impressive, in an 11 hour day and that was it! The rest of the day, 10hrs and 50 minutes was spent waiting for, or sitting on, old buses and vans. The much cheaper Bolonan plateau would have shown us villages, crafts and agriculture and been much better.
Decent restaurants and good to get convenience items, but not much to do directly in the town. Good hub for day-trips via motorcycle or tour, but expect to get really dirty if you do them via motorcycle as only the very largest of the main roads are paved outside of the town. Not much nature nearby, all flat areas have been cleared and converted to farmland. It takes a bit of work to get to areas with a bit of nature, but it's nice once you do so. Once you're out of the town the small villages vary from somewhat picturesque and mostly traditional to modern cement. Definitely worth exploring the countryside via motorcycle. Waterfalls are nice, but can be a bit crowded (by local standards).
I have been to Pakse a number of times, it backs onto the majestic Mekong River. I can thoroughly recommend both the Champasak Grand Hotel and the Pakse Hotel. There is a lovely market located in the centre of the town where you can buy nearly anything.
Pakse is slow and peaceful that is suitable for those who want to have a travel with slow-paced. Sitting and chilling on the banks of Mekong river where is the border between Laos and Thailand. You could feel the great of nature.
Unfortunately I was only in Pakse for 1 night. The city has lots to do and lots to offer, however isn’t the most aesthetically pleasing. Many come here to do the Pakse loop which is supposed to be great.
