The
word
Homestay
says
it
all.
It
is
really
staying
in
a
house
within
a
compound
that
is
genuinely
true
to
the
heart,
local.
The
owner
had
constructed
two
lodges
on
stilts
set
on
a
small
incline
which
gave
a
high
viewpoint
into
the
paddy
fields.
The
majestic
mountainous
backdrop
looms
beyond.
Unfortunately,
this
July
2019,
there
is
a
drought,
so
the
paddies
were
mostly
lacking
greenery.
The
bamboo
walkway
creaked
as
we
made
our
way
to
our
rustic
lodge.
Within
the
room,
basic
necessities
were
provisioned
for.
The
fridge,
the
kettle,
the
TV
and
a
nice
petite
bathroom.
It
is
a
homestay,
but
that
which
you
need
not
share
common
facilities
with
the
owner
or
the
other
guests.
You
have
a
small
temporary
home
of
your
own.
Two
single
beds
occupied
most
of
the
room
space.
Small
and
thus
very
cozy.
The
simple
dΓ©cor
brought
some
liveliness
and
the
cleanliness
was
in
check.
At
night,
the
nearby
gecko
croaked
loud.
The
morning
breakfast
was
fresh
cooked
right
in
front
of
us
under
a
straw
roofed
shack.
The
greens
we
had
were
from
their
garden,
it
was
really
farm
to
fork.
Simplistic
this
homestay
may
be,
but
generous
portions
the
food
that
was
served.
The
owner
herself
was
the
chef
and
we
chatted
away
while
enjoying
her
good
cooking.
Not
your
blend
sausage
and
eggs
slapped
on
a
plate,
but
some
really
sincere
local
dishes
such
as
stir-fried
gourd
with
egg.
Our
neighbor
came
soon
after
and
was
served
their
own
set
of
breakfast.
The
ambience
was
casual,
the
friendliness
among
all
transpired.
A
brief
walk
in
the
garden
after
just
to
see
the
beginnings
of
farm
to
fork.
It
was
filled
with
fluttering
butterflies
siphoning
honey
from
the
myriad
of
vibrant
small
flowers.
Soon
after,
we
packed
and
parted
with
friendly
goodbyes.
My
tires
gripped
the
gravel
and
made
that
grinding
resonance,
and
when
I
reached
the
tarmac
I
turned
left
and
headed
for
Phu
Langka.
Cozy,
homey,
authentic
and
priced
right
for
our
personal
lodge.
I
wouldnβt
ask
for
more.
