Hotels near Ban Pha Sai

อวบอิ๋มรีสอร์ท (OuabIm) is a resort with separated cabins, which is pleasant. The cabins are quiet. WiFi was good (important near the mountains). Refrigerator, aircon, fan, strong hot water. Everything clean. Location is an easy fifteen-minute walk from the main street in Phu Kradueng town, where there is a big line-up of sit-down open-air food places, a 7-Eleven, other stores, and an excellent coffee shop (บ้านเค้ก กาแฟสด) that makes really good cakes on the premises. The staff is not English-speaking. They use Google translate on their phones, but are efficient. They did my laundry, and found me transport. If you are climbing Phu Kradueng mountain, this is a good base. Also, one of the staff ladies gave me some bananas as I left!

I stayed in a little separate cottage. Good mattress, OK pillows (for a Westerner), plenty of plugs, plenty of light, desk, refrigerator, bathroom good. The resort is very pleasant, with a garden setting. There is a restaurant for breakfast. The facility will cook dinner. The pad khraphao was good! The staff is efficient, and arranged a ride for me to the next stage of my journey through Loei. (The property also has tents for backpackers. I mistakenly reserved a tent, not a cottage, but the efficient staff corrected my error.) The owner also takes care of rescue cats and dogs. For people who don't like cats or dogs, don't worry, they are well-behaved and not instrusive!! But I do, so this was another pleasant aspect of the resort.
