The Trio Bar is our way of keeping Nong Khiaw in the hands of locals.

Started by three friends from nearby villages who came together with a dream to create something special for our community, the Trio bar is proud to be a Lao-owned business.

As more businesses in town were taken over by foreign investors, we knew we had to act.

For us, Nong Khiaw isn’t just home it’s our heart. That’s why we’re dedicated to bringing local talent back, offering jobs and training in hospitality.

For years this piece of land was an uncared for dumping ground and so we petitioned to rent it from the government in order to protect and preserve the bridge watchtower on our property.

Built throughout 1976 until 1978, this tower served as a watchtower for the bridge and was even used as a holding cell at times. It holds an important piece of our town’s history, and together with our community, we’re excited to be in process of revamping the area to showcase this unique story for everyone to appreciate.

We’re only new in town and excited to share our creations with you! We hope to offer you a memorable experience here in Nong Khiaw and your feedback is important to us as we
continue to grow and improve.

If you enjoyed your experience with us, we’d be grateful if you could leave us a review to help future travellers find their way here. Your support means the world to us.

Thank you for being part of our journey!
