Upon arriving here (after the drive from Phang Nga) finding accommodation proved a bit of a challenge: we looked at 5 different places, 2 of which were full and 3 were ‘mmmm only if it’s the last room in town’, before finding and checking into Art’s Riverview Lodge. Totally agree with the Lonely Planet that it is the prettiest location in town. The rooms/huts are basic but nice and clean, and somehow had a much nicer feel to them than the others we saw. The common area (with bar/restaurant) overlooks the river. We saw monkeys everywhere: in the trees, swimming across the river, on the cars,… Very relaxing and peaceful. Stephen went for a dip in the river while I was quite happy looking on from the terrace. We had plans for going for a walk in the park but ended up enjoying time in the Lodge.
