lack the old-school veneer of the exterior and lobby, but they're tidy and fairly priced. The
owner is quite a character.

The seven
rooms and bungalows here are fairly humdrum, but they are gleaming clean and the back-
yard location makes it pretty peaceful.

Right
on the riverfront, this bright yellow building has great rooms with balconies and river
views. The cheaper standard rooms in back, however, are less inviting.

This new
riverside place is a tad odd, but the prices are fair for what you get. And, because it's a
new building, it doesn't suffer the quirks of many older properties. Rooms with river
views start at 690B.

; Th Kaew Worawut; r 1500-1900B; )
A lovely
boutique hotel with an odd but effective mix of concrete and panache that, along with the
riverside garden, makes for a relaxing place to stay. Unfortunately, it's a small jaunt from
the city centre.

The stark white exterior won't inspire love at first sight, but
get inside and you'll find large, attractive and well-appointed rooms, many with terraces
stepping right into the enormous pool. It's out in the country, beyond Sala Kaew Ku.
