Most of the food in Vang Vieng is cheap. However, there are a few exceptions. These are mainly the restaurants in high-class hotels. Sometimes even inconspicuous restaurants can be a little more expensive. Well, there are not many such restaurants and since you usually can check the prices at the menu outside, it shouldn’t be a problem anyway. All in all, the food in Vang Vieng is cheap. In our opinion even cheaper than in Vientiane, although the capital is far less touristy. Since many of the tourists in Vang Vieng are backpackers, that’s a good thing. More money left to spend on the fun activities and wild parties.
