My opinion :

If you are looking for accommodation near Kaeng Khut Khu, see this list of hotels near Kaeng Khut Khu.

Located at a bend in the Mekong some 5 km outside of Chaing Khan city, the Kaeng Khut Khu rapids form when the water level is high enoçugh. They are located in front of a magnificent mountainous landscape. The place is much more spectacular when there are the small waterfalls in the middle of the river (this was not the case on my pictures) but also offers a pretty setting when there are not here. There is a since small market and you can also eat thai food in local restaurants with a view and take small boat tours.
