Follow the footpath through the rice paddy for about 300m from the sign on the road just north of the village of Bayur

Five simple bungalows on a small lakeside plot surrounded by rice fields. The location is far enough from the village fishing platforms make the appealing enough to swim in. Mosquito nets and attached toilet and shower in each bungalow. Small restaurant with good and healthy food. Very friendly and welcoming staff. The only drawback is that it's a very long walk to the nearest town at Bayur.
