Sunrise Guesthouse

Nong Khiaw


Showing their age now, these tightly packed, termite-worn wooden bungalows are the polar opposite of luxury, but have stunning views of the river and bridge. There are four newer bungalows with relatively swish bathrooms, one of which has air-con. There's also a decent cafe with Western breakfasts and Lao fare.
