The location for this long-time budget favourite, 1km northwest of the train station, is inconvenient but peaceful. Simple wooden shared-bathroom rooms and a shady garden overlook a rice paddy. And Pirom is a great source of information. A túk-túk from town costs around 70B. Turn right from the train station, cross the tracks, take the first left and it's on the left after 600m.
