Rim Khong Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)

Arun Light Farm.

The journey from Chiang Rai was quite comfortable. I stayed in Chiang Saen for one night before. It took about 45 minutes to drive from Chiang Saen, and the roads were good all the way. The accommodation is very large but there are only 14 houses. The accommodation is divided into two zones with a road in between. I slept on the side next to the Mekong River. The room was a bit small but not far to walk. The rooms in the other zone are a bit further to walk, passing through rice fields, about 800 meters away on the hill. The rooms are as shown in the pictures, with a cabin feel at the edge of the rice fields with an outdoor shower. The room has everything including a free mini bar, but no hair dryer. The food is delicious, everything is very fresh, harvested from the farm and cooked right away. You can order food here until five in the evening. Dinner can also be ordered in advance; they will deliver it to your room in a pinto because everyone finishes work and goes home at 5:30. For breakfast, you can choose between rice porridge or an American breakfast, which can be ordered at 8 a.m. There are bicycles available at the farm for riding along the Mekong, the air is very fresh. In the morning, monks come for alms. Prepare to stay for a long time when you come here. It's peaceful, clean, with good air, and you can listen to the sound of the Mekong River flowing all day.
