Phayao guesthouses and hotels

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.
