Short answer: Chiang Khan is a charming Mekong town of old wooden houses. Most people stay along Chai Khong Road, with its walking street, cafés and dawn sticky-rice alms-giving; for budget and quiet choose the back lanes off Chai Khong; for river rapids and views head to Kaeng Khut Khu at the east end of town.
