Tayicseua Guesthouse

Top choice


This friendly spot surrounded by seven large waterfalls deserves its rave reviews. You'll fall asleep to tumbling water and wake up to birdsong from under mosquito nets in rustic bamboo huts (or your own tent), or more substantial timber bungalows. A communal lodge overlooks the distant mists of Tat Jariem deep in the valley below. Simple meals cost 20,000K.

Everything is very basic, but all things considered, this place is perfect for those OK with roughing it a bit.
