Description
Set by a canal and a moderately busy intersection, Lek House has a range of moderately priced rooms from prison-issue cells to cute but cramped A-frames. The rooms are fair value, but other places in town represent better value. The cheapest fan rooms have beds so hard we checked to see there was a mattress there and not just a plant of wood, but the bathrooms are clean and have warm water showers. Their air-con rooms are far more comfortable. The muesli here gets great reports.

This shabby guest house found us as we got off the boat in Chiang Rai. The rates were certainly reasonable and the staff were very friendly, but the rooms were dreadful. as in the description above, the the beds are the lower portions of boxspring sets, so while it may appear to be a mattress, it is indeed, a plywood board.
The rooms are small dark and grimy and most are centered around a small common area where a television set plays Thai programming at top volume from about 8am to 10pm.
