This long-standing place has an appropriately
old-school backpacker vibe. Rooms are simple and bathrooms are shared, but this is made
up for by a pleasant riverfront location and expansive chill-out areas.

Al-
though still within budget range, this leafy compound of refurbished wooden houses is
one of the more pleasant places to stay in Lampang, if not all of northern Thailand. It
couldn't be any nearer the river, shaded tables for chatting or eating abound, and motor-

and a location steps from Friday's Cultural Street market.
