Café Sinouk Pakse — Restaurant in Champasak Province

There were 20 times more flies in the cafe than there were people working, and about 2 times more people working than there were customers. Which was just my partner and I.

The coffee shop is linked to the Sinouk Accomodation and coffee tour. That would have been an amazing experience to visit but we ran out of time. You can ask at the cashier desk for this information.
