Beautiful teakwood hotel with lovely river views

What we say:

A hotel popular with tour groups, Ruanthai Sopaphan is one of the best choices in Chiang Khong. All rooms have Mekong views, though the ones on the higher floors get more light and are less stuffy. In a covered space in front of the rooms, there is a relaxation area with tables and chairs for everyone to use and plenty of family photos to look at if the river view gets a little boring. Madame Sopaphan seems to like her photo being taken. A self-service restaurant which works on an honesty system is open 07:00-23:00. The rooms are all made of dark teakwood which, due to the covered balconies, can make them feel a little gloomy. Each room has a fan, two beds which can be put together, big blankets and a private bathroom with hot shower and western-style loo. Room price includes breakfast.

Beautiful house, kinda spooky atmosphere

This house is really beautiful, elaborate and full of photos of the lady that built it decades ago. Because of the dark teak wood, it really does seem, well, dark. The covered hall and hallways (all with Mekong views) don't get much natural light and artificial lights weren't ever turned on, plus there was almost nobody staying there beside us, and it made the place feel a bit eery, but not in a bad way really, if that makes any sense! I would always imagine the hustle and bustle of this place twenty years ago. All the furniture is beautiful wood as well. We got a double room for 400 baht, which was fine, although not as nice as the 500 baht room next door, which seemed a bit more put together. The ceilings are bamboo, no mosquito net. Had a friendly gecko in our room too :) Wifi in the halls, not in the rooms. Breakfast is not included in the price as far as we were told. The food at their restaurant is overpriced. The laundry place across the little street is way too expensive. Overall a good guest house, but tad too quiet for us. We moved to Baanrimtaling the next night and were very happy there (plus its cheaper).

Beautiful building

I took a songthaew from Chiang Saen to Chiang Khong and we weee dropped in front of the Ruan Thai Sophaphun resort. Beautiful building. Nice location, by the river. I got a room for thb250, double bed, bathroom, hot shower, no mosquito net. The guesthouse is nice but is not worth going to Chiang Khong unless you´re going to Laos.
