Also known as CT Restaurant and Guest House, Pha Noy is comprised of a small group of bamboo bungalows, just by the bridge spanning the Nam Ou River. Bungalows are basic with a bed, mosquito net and electricity, but being right on the river, each has a balcony with a view. Attached baths are rustic with squat toilet and cold water. The real draw here is their recently done up restaurant area, set up as a high balcony looking out over the bridge and river. Views are lovely and there are even chaise lounges to relax in. They sell bakery products like bread and chocolate brownies.

Basic but good - 21st January, 2010
We stayed here for 5 nights over Christmas. The facilities are very basic but reasonably clean and there's plenty of hot water. The main plus is that accommodation is in bamboo bungalows each with its own terrace and river/mountain views. Stunning. The disadvantage is that the restaurant is behind the bungalows uphill so on a level with the roofs and it can be very noisy.
