"Thongbay is just outside town, but it's right on the Nam Khan River and every bungalow has a deck...from which to look out over the river or the beautiful gardens."
"It would be easy, however, to lose hours lounging on your balcony watching the villagers tend their vegetable gardens on the opposite bank."

"This is a really pleasant guesthouse decorated in a Franco-Lao style. The furnishing is dark wood and silk." Full review
