Pongphen Guesthouse is conveniently located, just off the main drag with a myriad of cafes, shops & restaurants at your fingertips. Our Riverview room was clean and spacious but required a bit of maintenance. The pool is welcome relief at the end of a hot day of touring and breakfast was more than ample.
