Thawan Daeng Guest House
Location & Map
Thawan Daeng Guest House is located near the old railway bridge on Don Det. The old railway bridge connects Don Det to Don Khone, making this location a perfect base for exploring both islands and the famous waterfalls in the area. Thawan Daeng is the first guest house to the right of the bridge when looking at Don Det and is situated just after Mekong Dream Restaurant and Hammock Lounge on the water's edge.
This prime location on the river front is a quiet area of Don Det where guests can take in the activities of local life from their very balcony whilst still having facilities and services within easy reach. Don Khone is within walking distance of Thawan Daeng Guest House.
