Description
A small guesthouse run by an incredibly friendly woman who speaks great English, Baan Rim Ta Ling is right on the Mekong about 1.5km to the east of Chiang Khong -- to get there, cross the bridge and take the first left -- it is about a 15-20 minute walk from the centre of Chiang Khong. Their upstairs restaurant serves very good food with a vegetarian focus at very reasonable prices. The guesthouse also has a sauna and massage facility, along with a spa. The Thai sauna is 80B for 40 minutes and has traditional Thai herbs on the fire. Choose between Thai or oil massage for 200B/hour. Every room in this guesthouse has a river view with a small balcony and either cushions or chairs at the front to sit and watch the boats go by. All rooms are large and fan-cooled with mosquito nets and private bathrooms with western-style flush toilet and hot shower -- except one cheap room near the kitchen).

Great food -

Quirky rooms that don't really take advantage of the views except I presume 'the best room'. Malewaan (the owner) is incredibly friendly and whips up a fantastic Mekong fish. I booked online no worries.

Chiang Khong Resort is one of the only hotels without a river view but is set back into the greenery on the outskirts of Chiang Khong.
