Description
A lovely old teak house on the river converted into a guesthouse and restaurant, Rabieng is the place to go for information about the area and also for tours to Kaeng Krachan National Park. Rooms are small with a choice of single or twin, all with shared bathroom facilities downstairs. The rooms have their share of dust and cobwebs, but have that true wooden guesthouse feel. The downside is the traffic noise as the guesthouse is also located on a busy street.
Upon check-in the English-speaking staff provide you with a map of the city and will answer any questions you might have before you go out to explore.
The restaurant has a lovely balcony - Rabieng is balcony in Thai - looks over the river where you can enjoy food and drinks. A one plate rice or noodle dish starts at 30B, a continental breakfast is 50B and an American breakfast is 70B. This restaurant is also popular with the locals.

Misery at it's Best! - 
By Fishman ( total comments: 36 
) Stayed here 1/2007
I arrived tired from 14+ hours of bus travel to make my way south from the north. Found a taxi and was dropped off here at the Rabieng Rim Nam after dark with nowhere else to go. The room was small, dusty, and noisy, bathrooms shared in the lower level, all having real toilets but no rims to sit on. Dreamed about demonic pigs here during my restless night during which I could not stop my nose from running due to the dirty and dusty room, I emptied my stash of tissue/toilet paper quickly and had to reuse what I had left repeatedly through the miserable night. The bed had long black hairs on it and smelled bad, sheets had not been changed in maybe years. So I slept restlessly for a couple of hours of ill,waking up already packed to leave and racing my way to the street for an escape from this **** of a guesthouse in literal terms. I don't know why anyone would consider staying here, it's a complete waste of the hours one could spend in this nice town at a much cleaner cheap hotel.
