Description
This new place is trying to make a go of it, but getting off to a bad start. The rooms are not in a great location -- away from the water, in an arid, unattractive spot on a dusty cross-roads. Still, there's internet on offer at the restaurant across the street, and the owner was very friendly -- though he's got to get a bit more realistic about pricing his digs.

We had a great time here: the room (6 dollars) was big,clean and I found the position ok even if it is not right on the river bank. The restaurant was very good and not too expensive and the owner enjoyed chatting with us and was helpful with tours, tickets, boats a.s.o.
Super friendly and charming -

Perhaps the travelfish reviewer visited in the dry season as when I was there the guesthouses ran down to the river. For $6 the rooms were charming and very relaxing with a hammock outside each one and hammocks down at the water's edge. It has a lot more character and is in keeping with the general feeling of Don Khon a lot more than the sterile rows of square bungalows on the island opposite. Pan and his wife are very friendly and accomodating and the restaurant serves delicious food and coffee. You can organise bus tickets and tours to the waterfalls etc as well as hire out bicycles - certainly an experience as the roads on Don Khon are seriously muddy and bumpy!
