Yes it's full of tourists but the food is good, the staff are friendly and it's in a nice quiet spot down a small lane.
Cool boutique style hostel, has a swimming pool and the owner is friendly and helpful. Definitely worth staying if you can get in. It's a 15 minute walk down to the beach.
Excellent book store, large selections across a range of books, lots of magazines too.
Good Japanese in Manila is hard to come by, this place will satisfy your cravings but it's not Japan.
Get your Japanese food fix here. It's not quite Japan but about the best Manila had to offer.
Excellent course, Suwannee speaks perfect English and will guide you round the market for lots of tasting and ingredient shopping before the cooking begins.
Good option in Chiang Khong if you need a bed for the night. The owner is really friendly and extremely helpful.
Decent rooms right in the centre of town. Does an okay breakfast as well, plus there is a handy travel agent onsite.
It's expensive but it is a fun, unique experience. We did the 3 day classic and were lucky enough to see the gibbons. There was actually a fair amount of trekking as well as the fun of the zip lining.
Good coffee, have a good selection of beans they roast themselves, including local beans. The barista is friendly and helpful.
