Pong Phen Kanchanaburi- Jan 2024
Cute and quirky place in a great location. Loved late afternoon beer overlooking the river. Very tranquil. Just one thing....some travellers are not considerate enough on their own in terms of their smoking habit around others. I wish they would ask guests to not smoke on the restaurant area, certainly not during breakfast hours.

It is what it is. A busy place based on inexpensive rooms with breakfast included. Obviously needs some repairs and renovation. But for the price it was fine
