Description
Tim's is supposed to be the place to be in Tad Lo, but we were underwhelmed. The rooms we saw were in a lodge across the street from reception -- decent rooms, basic wooden bungalows with porches all around -- but not a very scenic location, especially when there are similar options right along the river. Where Tim's excels is in making foreign tourists feel at home, running a lot of services out of the reception area, which also serves drinks and a limited menu. It's also the only place in town with internet -- at a whopping 1,000 kip per minute!

Tad Lo
This place is completely unmarked and takes some enterprise to find -- you can get here from the main road by taking a left after Sypaseuth Guesthouse -- they have a lodge just off the river with a wagon-wheel fence. It's also adjacent to Taeng's Guesthouse, which is just in back of it, and you can... more
Sypaseuth Guesthouse
Tad Lo, along the river, near the bridge
Like the Sailomyen, the Sypaseuth is right on the river. The cheapest rooms don't have quite the same rustic charm, but they are a little better and only slightly more expensive -- a good deal for a shared bath room. The more expensive rooms are well-furnished and have tile... more
Sailomyen Guest House
Tad Lo, along the river at the base of Tad Hang
The Sailomyen has cheap, beautifully rustic bungalows with porches right along the river. They all have shared bath and are fan only, but the proximity to the river keeps things quite cool at night. The rooms aren't much more than a bed with four walls and a roof over your head, with a hammock on... more
Taeng Guest House
Riverside, Tad Lo
You'll find this place by turning right when you reach Sailomyen Guesthouse. The rooms are just beds with mozzie nets and fans, but the bedding is great, and even through you're not right on the river, the rooms stay cool at night and have a great atmosphere. The shared facilities are pretty basic,... more
