3-Star Hotels in Lai Chau

As members of a 22-strong Anglo-Thai Society Regional Group, my wife and myself are nearing the end of an overnight stay at the Muong Thanh Lai Chau Hotel. It is a relatively large building with a separate restaurant in the grounds and - also as we discovered but didn’t use - a swimming pool and tennis court. Rooms are relatively large with a decent-sized bed and - be warned - the water in the bathroom is very hot. We had breakfast and dinner in the Puta Leng Restaurant with the latter a Chinese set banquet and the former buffet style. Good choice of food but some basics (cold coffee, no bananas etc) could be improved upon. All in all, a comfortable overnight stat at what is probably the best hotel in town!

Empty, empty, too few people, no one lives at all! A little empty is terrible!
