Soppong River Inn

Mae Hong Son Province


This place has modern rooms in a couple of rambling structures and a handful of individually decorated, high-roofed bungalows, some fan-cooled and some with air-con, all set in a jungly riverside garden with winding paths. The owner is pleasant and there's an attached restaurant. It’s at the western edge of town, within walking distance of the minivan stop.
