Phayao

Despite being home to such a beautiful lake, Phayao has a poor selection of hotels. You can either choose to stay in town at one of the basic Thai-Chinese hotels or on the edge of town near the bus station. All are within about a ten- to fifteen-minute walk to the water's edge.

Jumjai Homestay

Our pick of the bunch

37/5-6 Kwan Phayao Rd
T: (054) 482 659;

Tharn Thong Hotel

The best budget choice

55-59 Don Sanam Road
T: (054) 431 302;

Wattana Hotel

Grimy and rundown

69 Donsanam Road
T: (054) 431 203;

This is the poorer choice of the two Thai-Chinese hotels in the downtown area. The rooms are basic, and though some are reasonably clean, the bathrooms are uniformly vile. Be sure to ask for a ... View details
