We stayed for 5 nights in a riverside bungalow which was peaceful and relaxing. It was slightly away from the noise of town but easily within walking distance. We also cycled on free bikes and there is a shuttle bus in and out of town. The owner and staff were excellent and friendly and helped us organise trips andd transfers. Breakfast was great and we had a lovely stay, thank you

This guesthouse shines on service. Airport transfer and pickup were a breeze. They take the time to nicely greet you and check you in, giving you all the details. Daily shuttle in and out of main area of town is great. The pool was well kept and quiet (though, like so many in south east Asia, very cold). We had a river view bungalow. It was mostly clean, as much so as wooden rooms like these with gaps in the wall can be. But they provide mosquito nets. No TV. Breakfast is good and plenty with various options. If you want a break, feel free to use their kitchen (cashew chicken gets two thumbs up and yellow curry was good too). It is fresh and on probably better for the price than anything you will get a food stall in town for same cost. Dinner for three was about $12 USD. They do not advertise it, but they were glad to use their daily shuttle to drop us at our next guesthouse in Luang Prabang. I found I had forgotten my Nalgene water bottle in the mini fridge and called them to ask about it, and they brought it on the shuttle so I could pick it up that evening when they dropped hotel guests in the city. That was HIGHLY appreciated. They provide one bottle of drinking water per guest, and have a drinking water refill station. The beds were ok - not great but not the worst in SEA. We had a triple room, a king bed and two singles. The singles were incredibly soft to the point it felt like you might roll off and the king was a bit too hard. Goldilocks again :) Thanks Thonbay!

The only place to stay in Luang Prabang!!

This is an incredible place to stay. We loved every minute of our river view balcony, especially having breakfast there. The staff are amazingly friendly and attentive and couldn't be more welcoming. A beautiful gem that we genuinely didn't want to leave. Thank you Thongbay Guesthouse

We loved our stay at Thongbay. Mr. T & all the staff always provided excellent service & were very helpful. Meals are delivered to your bungalow (or elsewhere if you choose) & the food is delicious. The breakfast was great. The shuttle to & from downtown is very convenient & runs on schedule. The grounds are lovely. The bungalows are spacious. The floorboards do creak some but that didn’t affect our enjoyment.

This property is made up of detached wooden bungalows with Verandahs. The staff are excellent and breakfast is served on your own verandah each morning. They have bicycles and motorcycles for hire if you want to explore the local area or you can relax by the pool.

Glorious tropical garden residences

Gloriously verdant. An oasis of nature with views across the river. The individual 'bubgalows' are well sized, with a verandah. A hearty and generous breakfast arrived to my table, at the appointed hour. This is a place for a writer on a mission. Perfectly appointed to stay focussed. There is a large pool too. And really convenient transportation regularly throughout the day to reach 'town' in 7 or 8 minutes.
