Constructed using teak and bamboo plywood, these rooms are spacious and incorporate a twin-tiered roof and ceiling, inspired by the local Shan temple architecture. The exterior is finished with a combination of teak and masonry using a special stucco, made with the reddish soil found in the mountains here. Along with the brass and rattan ceiling fans, the roof design allows for good cooling. As with all our rooms (except for the Lahu Lounge, of course!), the bamboo rooms have queen-size real mattresses (a rarity in remote Thai villages like Soppong) with Thai style decorations, silk wall hangings and rattan table and chairs. En-suite bathrooms, constructed of ceramic tile, masonry and glass brick, have western style flush toilets, hand-made ceramic bowl sinks, and gas hot water showers. The Bamboo Room rate is 650 baht/night or 3600 baht/week (the seventh night is free). Longer term discounts are available.
Each of the rooms has a private entrance, and they are adjoining our terrace over the river.
