Changes money, cashes traveller's cheques and does cash advances on credit cards (a bad deal). There is an ATM in front of the building that accepts most foreign cards.

BCEL Bank

The only rooftop restaurant in Pakse. On the 7th floor of Pakse Hotel, with a beautiful view over the town and the Mekong. Western, Asian and fusion dishes. Not cheap, but the view makes up for it, and probably the best pizza and Western dishes in town.

Le Panorama

Serves enormous bowls of noodle soup with fresh herbs and salad. Recommended for breakfast

Lan Kham Noodle House

Cafe has free Wi-Fi for patrons and fancy frappe drinks, cakes and basic restaurant menu.

Cafe Sinouk

The biggest and most beautiful temple of Pakse, and home of Buddhist monk school. This is also the best place to see the monk alms giving rituals often seen in Luang Prabang.
