The highest score in this list at 8.9 from 845 reviews — the most by far. The Riverside Guest House is a two-storey teak house built in 1930 on Talad Gao Road, on the Wang River, from the era when Lampang was a thriving teak-trade city. Inside: polished teak floors, dark wood walls, carved Lanna furniture, and rooms with private terraces — some facing out onto the Wang River. It's a 100-metre walk from the front door to Kad Kong Ta. No new-build can recreate that.
