Chi Phat’s CBET project has 12 family-run guesthouses and nine homestays. Some of these places are in town, others are out in the countryside, surrounded by orchards. In addition there’s a fancier guesthouse, the Sothun Lodge, on a small island in the middle of a river. It has a delightful bar on a platform overlooking the river, and simple but sturdy en-suite bungalows with two double beds, a few extras like towels, balconies and real showers.
For now, the accommodation on offer is quite basic. Phuong Vanny Guesthouse , run by a dynamic village woman, has six rooms (there are plans to add nine more) with hardwood floors and mosquito nets. The shared bathrooms have a barrel shower.
