Will Obama be Staying Here?

Obama arrives tomorrow and social media is alive with questions about where he is staying - the Embassy, the Ambassador's Residence, the Don Chan Palace (ugly hotel on the river) or on board Airforce One.  However no - one has suggested ....The White House - Laos style. 

This place stopped me in my tracks on my bike ride downstream along the Mekong on Sunday.  What style of architecture is this???  The neighbour on one side is a shanty and on the other a similar monstrosity, but an apricot color.  There is  a huge gravel/mine behind on the river so maybe the owners have made their money out of stones!

The road out the front is definitely not Philadelphia Avenue.
