It’s basic and the location—directly on the main street not far from the bridge—has no soul, but those who are not fussed about a river views should consider throwing their bag down here and in fact, this place is cleaner and sturdier than some of the bamboo bungalows we saw that were double the price of these rooms.

Sythane Guesthouse is a two storey concrete block house, doors all facing the road. Rooms are basic, with tile floor and a bed pushed against a corner (blanket provided but no top sheet). The bathroom is equally spartan, though on the upside, there is an electric heated shower, sink and western bucket flush toilet. A fan and window keeps things civilised, as does the hot water dispenser and tea available at the front for all guests.

Being on the main road means the place is easy to find and it is conveniently close to several popular restaurants and travel agents. The most convincing aspect of why you’d want to stay here is the price, and like all cheap guesthouses in Nong Kiaow, during high season this one fills rather quickly.
