Sitting on our balcony side by side in hammocks, overlooking the Nam Ou river... Yeah, Muang Ngoi is definitely worth visiting!
If you have already made the effort to get to Nong Khiaw, then Muang Noi is only a stones throw away and the perfect little Laos escape. This tiny town is made up of riverside bungalows, some local shops and a few restaurants. There's not much else in town, but the surrounding mountains are home to some charming villages, refreshing freshwater streams and cool caves.

We were met upon arrival by the friendly Gabriel and his wife, who immediately offered us a river front bungalow for a great price. So we decided to check it out.
We were not disappointed by the awesome little rooms at Riverview Bungalows! Our double room with fan and private bathroom was one of 6 bungalows, all with private balcony, western toilet and uninterrupted river views. There is also good Wi-Fi in all rooms so you can even chill on your balcony while catching up on news from home! The owners also run and live in PDV Restaurant near the Boat Arrival point. There they offer daily breakfast and dinner buffets for 25,000 kip per person which is great value compared to other places in town. There is also a bar with daily happy hour on Cocktails! |

If you want to explore the local area, Gabriel can draw you a great map that provides a few treks to villages and caves just out of Muang Ngoi. Alternatively, there are a few tour operators in town where you can book a kayaking, trekking or waterfall tour to the surrounding rivers and mountain regions.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Riverview Bungalows so much so that our original one night stay quickly became three! If you want to experience the "Real Laos" and get off the beaten track, then this is the perfect place for you!
