Domestic tourists stay across the river in glitzy, Vegas-style hotels offering all-day shows of tribal dancing and wild animal routines that would outrage even the mildest environmentalist. Foreigners mostly stay in the many small hotels and guesthouses in the old town, such as the clean and quiet Banna Guesthouse, where an air-conditioned double costs $18 per night; call (86-691) 212-3559 to book.
