Back on Chai Khong Road, you'll find no shortage of pricier restaurants with extensive menus and riverside seating. While we didn't get around to trying it, we heard good things about Hein Luang Prabang, which focuses on traditional Northern Thai and Lao dishes along with standards like fried rice and krapao. Further east in the vicinity of Wat Tha Khok and Soi 19, Ganga Restaurant is a godsend for those craving a bite of Western food. They do excellent burgers along with passable pizza and a wide array of sandwiches, sausages, pasta and steaks to go with a dozen European beers and quality coffee.
