Laos - Nong Khiaw – Stay @ Sangdao-Chittavong Guest House

There are quite a number of budget guest house around Nong Khiaw. In less than RM100, you can easily find a private room with attached bathroom. Instead of private room, “bungalow” is the more common word being used here.

We didn’t book any accommodation prior to arrival, since it was a last minute decision. From Nong Khiaw bus station, we hopped onto a tuk-tuk and simply named one guest house listed in Lonely Planet to the driver. There are 2 other passengers on the tuk-tuk and they got down at Chittavong , which is next to the main bridge. The guest house that we initially wanted to go is after the bridge. We decided to get down together with that 2 passengers and see whether Chittavong still have room available or not.

The main bridge.

Ended up this was one of the best decision we made throughout the trip :P There is “bungalow” available here and we got a private “house” by ourselves which costs us 50,000 kip per night! It was such a good deal!

The room is a fan room but not need to worry about the temperature, we are practically staying beside jungle, with mountains behind, it was quite cold at night! Bathroom is with hot water supply, which is more important than air-cond LOL.

The room is simple and clean. Wall is made up from bamboo, so air ventilation is good.

The guest house owner runs a small restaurant too. We had one dinner and one breakfast here, the food is good.

We had a great time staying here! One thing is there is no Wifi signal in the room, but Wifi is available at the restaurant, which is just few steps from the room.
