It was not a problem when I was there as the river is fast flowing, you usually get bad mossie infestations around stagnant water. I went to the Huen Luang Prabang Restaurant for my birthday and we had the number 1 table over the river, no flies or mossies at all.

Dave,

Thank you for your feedback.

I have one more question.  Being on a river, how is the mosquitoes problem?

Thanks everyone for their input.  And yes I mean Chiang Khan and not Ching Rai. 

Was at Chang Mai many years ago.  It was good, went to a a very elephant friendly elephant camp where you ride on the elephants bare back (not the platforms, which I understand was not healthy for the elephants).  I checked a year ago and they had discounted the elephant riding. 

Just for the hell of it (actually there is an underling reason), I am thinking about taking a road trip (by bus) to Chiang Khan on my October visit to Thailand.

I would also be interested in knowing:

• Recommend an inexpensive, airconditioned guest house
• The availability of Pay For Play (sorry not sure if this question is permitted no this forum)
• Tourist things to do
• Massage with hand job (again  not sure if this question is permitted no this forum)
• Safety in renting a motor scooter (safety in terms of not being ripped off, not in terms of breaking my neck)
• Recommended Karaoke
• Any local tours and/or water actives

Thank you,

donald

Thanks
