Funky Box

Chiang Khong


Pretty much what the label says: a box-like structure holding 16 fan-cooled dorm beds. There are also five fan-only private rooms that share bathrooms. Mattresses are a bit springy but both the dorm and private rooms are comfortable enough for a night or two. Mountain bikes can be hired and kayaking and hiking trips arranged. There's an attached bar, the Hub.
