Mangkhon Guesthouse
Budget pick of the bunch

What we say: 
This is the pick of the bunch among budget guesthouses in Khong Chiam, with friendly English-speaking staff and spotless fan-cooled and air-con rooms that include Western or Thai breakfast. The guesthouse, down the road from the bus station, consists of the older, original wooden building and a newer building just across the road. Mangkhon Guesthouse rents bicycles and motorcycles for 100 baht and 200 baht respectively. The guesthouse is about a 10-minute stroll from the two-colour river. Recommended.

Great place to base yourself...
I stayed here for 5 nights... Some may find the area a little noisy, but I liked being near the market/bus station etc. Very clean, good sized rooms. I paid 250 baht for a fan room w/fridge and tv - only 4 thai channels - lol - and free wi-fi. There are bigger air con rooms for 500 baht +. Rented a scooter for 4 days to explore the area... Sam Phan Bok is about 60k away, I also visited Pha Taem and Kaeng Tana National parks, Chong Mek etc. Getting to Khong Chiam is a bit of a challenge, I had to take 2 songtheaws - Ubon to Phibun and another to KC. And they are only running at 11:00 & 17:30. They leave KC at 6:00 & 8:30. The fact that there is no direct songtheaw to Chong Mek (if going to Laos) is rather only as it's only 40K away - must go via Phibun Masanghan again. There is a direct bus from Bangkok however. Scooter rental: 200b per day, I spent about 100 baht a day on gas. website: http://www.mongkhon.com

Ban Kiang Nam is better
Stay at the Ban Kiang Nam Hotel which is more of a guesthouse than a hotel. It has excellent rooms. Mongkhon gets busy with Thai bus tours.

Best in Khong Chiam
This is the best place to stay. Clean rooms. They even picked me up at the airport for a small charge. They also did all the paperwork for visiting Chong Mek, national park, and arranged a boat to Laos! I will stay there again!
