Well the only way to book this place is to phone ahead, it all worked out. Large number of rooms spread either side of a stone staircase. We were lucky enough to have room 7 which, as others have said has the best views in the house. Oooo what views over this enormous reservoir. There are more basic rooms but this one has air con and just £25 a night. Good choice of breakfast, excellent lunch / evening menu and endless supplies of beer if that’s your thing. This is slightly out of town 5/10 mins walk but who cares. We arrived on the eve of Loy Kathrong, when there are local (and very noisy) boat races on the lake. Good fun watching though and the locals are very vocal about it all.|The manager is kindness personified, even giving us offerings to float for Loy Kathrong and enabling us to join the celebrations with his family. He can arrange anything including a boat trip from the pier, just ask away.|We stayed two nights and second night the manager hosted a meal for a crowd of children and some adults..... we quickly gathered something special was going on and enquired. It turned out the children were all from a VERY special local project which provides education and skills for the local Mon children, orphans and those that cannot get into state schools (most Mon children can’t as they’re stateless) Children of the Forest, have had innumerable successes with the children they have worked with, including three going to university.
