Brewsters set new Accom record

One night for 30,000 KIP (GBP 1.50)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - 29th February 2008, Noung Kieow, Northern Laos

The Brewster Partnership is proud to announce it has set a record rate of 30,000 kip (US$ 3.00 or GBP 1.50) for a single night's accommodation. The exclusive cabin, at a not-so-secret riverside location in northern Laos, was built of locally produced materials and had full mosquito protection.

The previous South-East Asian accommodation record of 128,000 Dong (US$8.00 or GBP4.00) was set in the Imperial Capital of Vietnam, Hue; although Laos has had several rooms at around 40,000 kip, this was the first to hit the magic 30,000 mark.

Ed Brewster, Senior Partner, commented: "a night's kip for only thirty thousand kip, who could ask for more. This sets a benchmark that fits with the partnership's renewed focus on cost control, while taking full advantage of the excellent pound/dollar exchange rate. We slept soundly that night and not just financially...."

Erica Brewster, trainee partner, said: "who needs hot water, a loo or electricity, these are all bourgeois desires, the people just need a roof and a bed. Lizards are the most effective insect repellent and the way the moonlight sparkled through the holes in the bamboo walls onto our mosquito net was so romantic. With this price we renew our committment to spend even less on accomadation, after all, who needs beds?"
