Living with the locals
The bright purple Moon Joy has the cheapest prices for rooms in Loikaw.
The location is decent, just across from Loikaw City Restaurant and a walk from the main lake. Rooms aren’t the cleanest and the beds and towels could use an extra washing but they offer a surprising number of services and features including WiFi, air-con, TV, minibar, tea and coffee and hot and cold showers. Do be careful that they use drinking and not well water for your tea. Many locals stay here long term, and noise can be an issue. Still, it’s a choice to consider if you’re on a tight budget.

Once called a nebula of good energy, Christopher wasn't impressed by where his institutional learning took him and blames travel and wonderfully eccentric people for where he is today: Burma (Myanmar).
