• Just stay here!

  Despite a short 2-days stay, this guesthouse is definitely my favourite for my entire 30-day trip in Thailand. Yes, it might not boast the same backpacker-friendly facilities as that of other more established guesthouses in the vicinity, but underneath its unassuming exterior lies a quiet charm that involves wooden thatched roofs and rocking chairs on the shared balcony gently swayed by the river breeze amidst swirling smoke from mosquito coils. It is as romantic as it sounds and it was just what I was looking for. The location is also fantastic, with the bustling Thasadej market a stone's throw away and the Mekong river view almost at your doorstep. The owner Den lives with his family just opposite the guesthouse, so it's easy to contact him for help. He seems to have an endearingly perplexed expression perpetually plastered on his face whenever he tries his very best with his basic but functional command of English to help us with our toilet paper requests and instructions to tourist attractions. :) In fact, upon our departure, he even offered to drive all 5 of us girls with our luggage to the bus terminal of his own accord! So stay here!!

• Charming Wooden Home

  Esan Guesthouse is a family-run spot managed by the friendly Khun Den. This teakwood home originally belonged to Den's grandfather, and has been converted into a quiet and charming guesthouse, with four rooms in the old house and another four bungalow-style rooms in the garden. It's a good blend of the traditional with modern touches like hot shower, aircon, and cable TV. A fan room in the old house with spotless shared bath is as little as 250 baht. Other good value and equally clean rooms with a/c or private bath are available for a bit more. There is a comfortable sitting area next to the garden, and free tea, coffee, and toast is available in each morning. Esan Guesthouse is at a good location at the southern end of Nong Khai's riverside promenade in a vibrant Thai neighborhood. There are several other guesthouses in the area as well, and it is developing into a good alternative to the backpacker ghetto centered near Mut Mee. The address is 538 Soi Srikunmuang, Meechai Road, Nongkhai 43000. Email at Esan-Guesthouse@hotmail.com or call 086 242 1860 or 042 412008. Recommended.

• Beautiful Spot

  Stayed two nights in this place. Beautiful room in a beautiful house. Very comfortable bed, mozzy net in good condition, soap, towel and toilet paper provided. Quiet in the mornings and evenings, and very friendly staff. No food, but there is coffee, tea, water and pop. Lots of places to eat nearby. Shared, spotless, M/F bathrooms. Place is owned by the family who live immediately across the road, so if nobody's around just go over there and shout.
