This old
wooden house is quite simple (shared bathrooms, mattresses on the floor, and air-condi-
tioning in only one room) but the atmosphere makes it special. It's on a mostly quiet side
street south of
săh·lah glahng
(provincial hall).

The rooms here are nothing special, but they can fetch these high prices
because they're the best in town and there are also plenty of extras, including a swimming
pool and fitness room. It's next to the bus station in the heart of town.
