; 153/4 Moo 4, Ban Tamakham; r 790-990B; )
Almost like a chic homestay, the super-friendly Apple and Noi offer simple but stylish
rooms, bags of local knowledge and well-maintained grounds. To be ecofriendly, rooms
lack a TV and fridge. Cheaper rooms do not include breakfast, but it is worth the extra just
for the mango jam.
Pong Phen
GUESTHOUSE

( 0 3451 2981;

; Th Mae Nam Khwae; r 400-1300B; )
Pong Phen has a range
of comfortable wooden bungalows and raft houses, plus a restaurant that offers decent
Western and Thai dishes - but the real bonus is the pool.
Sam's House
( 0 3451 5956;

;
14/2 Moo 1, Th Mae Nam Khwae; d 400-800B; )
A walk-
way beside a bed of hyacinths leads to basic but clean bungalows and raft houses. The A-
frame designs and gnarly wood patterns add character.
