David - Thoeng gets my vote on the account of the fact Chiang Khong will get enough support with the Music Festival, and there are some great new freshly tarred roads South of Thoeng worth riding, even if through the rather flat fields !

See you in Thoeng.
It gets my vote as well.
I'm on the road heading back today from Savannakhet.

Please yourself where you want to stay.
I may check out a new place after my brick bed experience at the Roong Thoeng a few weeks ago.
But the dinner venue is a beauty. Excellent food, nice waitresses & some decent live music.

We were a bit spread apart.....The main crew stayed here at the Grand View

I stayed in town at the Teak Villa with Russ for 400 baht = top value for money, but 6 kms away from the dinner venue.

Top service, & food with some nice live music, that we all forgot to take photos of I think.
Thoeng is an interesting town, but the restaurants & only night spot are spread out along the highway, kms apart.
Russ & I were well impressed with the super friendly people in the quarter of town we stayed in. There are some interesting resorts & places to check out south of town in the area we stayed...so Thoeng is worthy of more exploration for an "off-the-map" town to investigate. The up country rural folks in the smaller towns are always a gem.

Bring on more GTR dinners in "off-the-map" towns.
