Don Khon guesthouses and hotels

Don Khon doesn't have the quantity of accommodation Don Dhetdoes, but what's there is mostly pretty good, catering to most budgets. As with Don Dhet, if you are staying in cheaper accommodation that is not very secure, it's best not to leave anything in your bungalow.

These raft-houses, managed by ex-lawyer Leusak, are the enviro-friendly standout on Don Khon. Employing some solar heating and ecologically-sensitive treatment of waste this is a surprising addition ... Salaphae complete profile

Xaymontri Residence - Popular with groups
