Charming, friendly and attractively decorated, it's like a little bit of Chiang Khan plopped down in the countryside. Excellent English is spoken, and the family are great hosts. All rooms have private bathrooms, though the one with the best river view requires a walk outdoors. It's 1km west of town; staff will pick you up at the bus station.
