Very disappointing
Pros:

Very helpful owner of the guesthouse. Lovely traditional style of the place and very convenient location.

Cons:

Very very very noisy. I was not able to sleep at all. Crying children, motorbikes late into the night, cars and trucks from 4am in the morning. Dogs, chickens, noise from the other rooms, could even hear when they turn their taps on and off. In addition to all the noise, the curtains does not block out the lights from the lamp posts. I did not sleep at all! Luckily I was only there for one night to catch my boat. So relieved about that.

Really good stopover , and very helpful owner.
Pros:

A great place, provides everything travellers need on the way over the border with Laos. Very organised and helpful, the owner is great and can arrange the boat ticket for Laos, transport across the border. He's a character too. The room was small but fun, all wood panelling and we had a balcony which we really enjoyed. Location brilliant, you can walk along the river bank, into the main street for the market and fabulous restaurant few doors away. We stayed 2 nights to get a taste of Chiang Khong, really glad we did.

Cons:

When we were checking in and then later trying to discuss buying boat tickets, both times a young boy was screaming and shouting around us in reception . It is annoying when you're tired and trying to talk as adults and paying guests.

One night in Chiang Khong
Pros:

Most people ce to Chiang Khong for one night to cross into Laos the following morning. Baanfai is a perfect, reasonably price option to spend a night or even more in. It is built in the traditional style and is absolutely lovely with a nice balcony to sit out on. We had a twin room with ensuite bathroom. It's basic but has everything you need. Its on the main road so close to restaurants, the brilliant Big C supermarket and the riverside walk. The best thing about it is the owner, who is a big boss in the area. He has everything organised with a taxi that takes you to the border crossing in the morning included. He can also arrange boat trips downriver for a good price if you haven't already booked one. He is a partner of Mekong River Cruise which we had already pre-booked. In the morning, he checked everything was in order for us. We would highly recommend Baanfai for your stay in Chiang Khong. Restaurants close by 8/8.30 so go early.

Cons:

Nothing-everything was great
