Mekong Ecolodge Bungalow

The Mekong Ecolodge was a unique place to stay. We stayed in a standalone bungalow, which was charming. Used the mosquito net at night and had no issues at all with bugs. Taking a shower outside was fun and refreshing. The bamboo lounge chairs in our porch were so comfortable! I would have like to have more than 1 pillow per person so it would have been more comfortable to read before bed. We had hot water in the room but didn't see coffee or tea, so don't know why we had hot water. We probably could have asked for some--the staff is SO nice and helpful and friendly. The food was excellent and the meals we had were embarrassingly large... we wasted a lot, which I always hate doing, but there's no way we could eat everything served to us. We really enjoyed the bikes and took 2 wonderful rides. We also hunted for catfish for dinner in the muddy canal, which was hilariously fun. And, we did a cooking class, which was fun. This place was very wonderful and relaxing. I did not enjoy the very loud karaoke from the local karaoke joint in the evening, but fortunately, it only lasted for an hour and ended before 9pm. One of my friends who lives nearby said karaoke is just to be expected there. A very nice place to stay overall.
