Nightlife at Bor Pen Nyang

At night, Bor Pen Nyang is one of the liveliest nightspots in the city, with a music policy of popular western music and 2 pool tables that are consistently busy. Anyone who fancies a game must write their name on a whiteboard and wait for the bar staff to come and notify them.

Bor Pen Nyang’s clientele is a chatty mix of backpackers, tourists, and locals. One of the renowned traits of Vientiane is how easy it is to fall into conversation with complete strangers – something which rarely happens in bigger, busier cities.

This trait is especially true in Bor Pen Nyang, so it’s a good spot for solo travellers looking to strike up a conversation with like-minded tourists and friendly locals.
