I'm going to place a recommendation for this bar - I spent the early part of several evenings sitting at the front of the bar (clean, modern & with good bathroom) enjoying the sights & sounds as Bang La came to life each night...and then the gogo dancers across the road started up, and the lady boy show down below (not that I dig that - interesting nonetheless) all the while sipping ice cold Beer Lao and being looked after by the lovely Kob. Only downside is if you sit outside at one of the high tables you will be harrassed non stop by the usual hawkers, beggars, photo pimps, animal touts etc. Try and sit just inside behind the bar.
