Rough Guide "In an atmospheric colonial building dating back to 1936 and just a short walk from the old city, this is a relaxed, popular hostel with ample space for guests to relax and mingle."
Lonely Planet "Not the most attractive hostel you'll ever see, this place situated on a quiet street has newish dorms with safety lockers and air-con as well as a few private rooms without." Full review

One of the cheapest crashpads in town, travellers aren't really here for the beds, but to avoid going to bed, as it rumbles on into the early hours.

Fodor's "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."
Rough Guide "It would be easy, however, to lose hours lounging on your balcony watching the villagers tend their vegetable gardens on the opposite bank."

"Thongbay Guesthouse is an older, small property overlooking the banks of the Nam Khan River -- slightly outside of the center of town." Full review
Lonely Planet "Subtle lighting and immaculately managed foliage intersperse the Thongbay's close-packed wood-and-thatch bungalows." Full review
