Pae Araya
Where the Mekong meets the Mun River, this floating restaurant enjoys a cooling breeze and gentle undulations from passing boats. Fresh fish is delivered each morning, and the catch of the day dictates the menu: Most of the dishes feature river fish cooked in a local Thai style with bold flavours; the spice level can be adjusted upon request. Arrive early for dinner to catch sundown views over the river and the Laotian landscape beyond.
