We cruised around the small town on a scooter for a bit and chose a guest house along the river. The setting is superb. Just after the river big mountains jut out of the ground creating foresty cliffs (I was corrected and informed in an earlier post that these mountains are the foothills of the Himalayas.
I wanted a place with a view, and found one, facing west directly across the river to the mountains. At 450 THB for an air can room, fitted out with nice timber, good comfo0rtable bed, decent functioning bathroom and an all round nice feel to the place, I considered it a bargain. Though you can get pretty dam decent accomodation in VV for 150 - 200 THB.
This photo is the front room of the guest house, with the same type balconies on the back side where we were, and some humble attempts at me trying to catch the sunset from our balcony.....
