10 Mekong-Side Hotels We've Reviewed
Prices Compared Across 3 Sites

The most reviewed hotel in this guide at 520 reviews, scoring 9.0 — Fortune River View is a 4-star Mekong riverside hotel in the town centre where all 122 rooms face the river, none looking out on a wall. Open the curtains to the Mekong with the Lao mountains behind it; there's an outdoor pool, a riverside restaurant, and free bicycles for cycling the promenade. It's a few steps from the riverside walkway and the Walking Street.

Fortune View Khong is a Mekong riverside boutique on Sunthon Wichit Road whose selling point is river-side rooms with a private balcony looking across the Mekong to Laos, scoring 9.1 from 250 reviews. Renovated in 2019, it has a riverside restaurant on the ground floor and a varied breakfast that guests praise. You can walk along the river to the Walking Street and the Phaya Sri Sattanakarat naga statue — all at an affordable price.

Chewa Khong opened around 2023 on the Mekong north of town, scoring 9.1. Its standout is the rooftop infinity-style pool with a full view of the Mekong and the Lao side, best in the late afternoon as the light hits the water. The building is new and the bright rooms draw praise for cleanliness, and there are bicycles and electric scooters for hire to ride the riverside into town.

NAKA-RAJ Escape is a 4-star boutique hotel that opened in 2024 on the Mekong with just 17 rooms, scoring 9.0 and 5.0/5 on TripAdvisor. The star is the riverside infinity pool, where you soak while looking across to the Lao mountains; rooms are new and clean and several have kitchenettes, making it a private riverside retreat. The trade-off is the location out in Acha Samat, about 15 minutes from town — you'll want a car.

Pawnprathan Baan Rim Khong breaks from the usual hotel — it's a 3-bedroom Mekong-side house you rent whole on Sunthon Wichit Road, scoring 8.6. The balcony and lounge areas look right out over the Mekong and the Lao bank, making it ideal for a family or group who want a riverside house of their own. You can walk to the Walking Street and the Phaya Sri Sattanakarat naga statue.

Non Nakorn is a small riverside stay on Sunthon Wichit Road with a bistro/cafe downstairs, right on the Walking Street, scoring 8.7.

Step out the door to the Walking Street and the evening market, with the naga statue a short walk away.

Nonrada Boutique is a small boutique that opened in 2024 in the town centre, with 15 rooms at sub-฿1,000 rates, scoring 8.6. Guests like the brand-new, spotless rooms and a location about 400 metres from the Mekong viewpoint and city pillar shrine — walkable to the riverside Walking Street, without paying for a riverfront room. There's free parking and free internet.

Porpiang Hotel is the cheapest stay in this guide, from just ฿550, yet cleaner than its price, scoring 8.6 from 95 reviews. It's a 21-room boutique with modern Thai-Isan design on a quiet lane in the town centre, and guests consistently praise the cleanliness, soft beds, and friendly staff. There's a local-style breakfast, free Wi-Fi, free bikes, and free parking, with the riverside Walking Street about 400 metres away.

Na That Phanom Place is a clean, quiet stay in That Phanom town, about 650 metres from the Phra That Phanom stupa — roughly a 9-minute walk, scoring 8.5 from 90 reviews. It's a small 25-room hotel that guests praise for clean rooms, soft beds, cool air-con, and a friendly owner, with free bikes to ride to the temple. Great for pilgrims, couples, and older travellers.

Aranya Hostel Spa and Cafe Riverside (listed on some platforms as Aran hostel) is a small Mekong-side stay at Ban Hat Hae with a pool, spa, and riverside cafe at a budget price, scoring 8.4. Wake to mist over the Mekong and the Lao bank; rooms are air-conditioned family rooms with balconies.
