is quite straightforward. Buses run from the Eastern (Eckamai) Bus Station
to Baan Phe. The boat and ferry connections are quite obvious. And the
fare is quite reasonable.

will be available, but try to avoid the bungalow and guest house touts.
They get a commission they may take you to a different accommodation that
you requested.
