One of several generic resort hotels in the town, the Namkhong provides perfectly adequate accommodation, but lacks any real character. The rooms are clean, the staff are polite and the views of the river are beautiful, other than these qualities, there is very little else to recommend the place. Having lived and worked in Thailand, I have travelled extensively and can honestly say that the Namkhong has the worst breakfast I have ever come across. The food was unedible. Butter that smelt and tasted like bad cheese, chemically infused orange juice and jam that glowed faint neon, that had clearly never seen a piece of fruit in its life. The Thai food was equally as bad, with rice soup offerings being left untouched by all at the breakfast table.

Lastly, it's worth noting that logistical management of the hotel relies on all staff carrying and using loud radios at all hours of the day and night. Loud radio babble at 5am, 6am, 7am and then a horrific breakfast has certainly ensured that neither I nor my friends will return in a hurry.

Good basic hotel at Chiang Khong. Clean average rooms, upper floor really nice view from balconies. Good thai breakfast. Safe parking for motorbike. Good value

Nice hotel with good view to river and Laos. Parking outfront with security.
