In a recent question I was looking for day trips or weekend trips near Vientiane.

One of the very good answers was the Buddha Park (Wat Xieng Khuan), which is about 25 km from Vientiane.

Now one of the reasons for a day or weekend trip is to get away from the "big" city and relax somewhere quiet for a day or two.

So far I haven't been able to locate any guest house, hostel, or other cheap accommodation near the Buddha Park and not near Vientiane itself. I don't mind places that don't specifically cater to foreigners or tourists. Just somewhere to sleep away from insects, shower in the morning, and laze in the shade reading a book.

Preferably strolling distance to the Buddha Park but a tuk tuk ride is OK.

(Please don't answer saying "Why not just take the bus from Vientiane because it's so cheap" - that's not my question.)
