Mut Mee Garden Guesthouse

Top choice in Nong Khai


Nong Khai's budget classic has a riverfront garden so relaxing it's intoxicating, and most nights it's packed with travellers. Mut Mee caters to many budgets, with a huge variety of rooms (the cheapest with shared bathroom, the most expensive with an awesome balcony) clustered around the thatched-roof garden lounge, where owner Julian freely shares his wealth of knowledge about the area.
