Muang Ngoi Photo Gallery
A gorgeous, sleepy town, Muang Ngoi gets our vote as one of the friendliest places in all of Laos, which is a big call. There is no road access, and the lack of motorbikes and other vehicles is refreshing. Limited electricity means that the locals' lifestyle is aligned with daylight hours, and the town shuts down by nine or ten at night, and starts up again very noisily at daybreak! Smaller than Nong Kiaow, Muang Ngoi offers more in the scope of local activities, and a few of the guesthouses offer trekking, walking, boating or caving day trips. Almost all the guesthouses wisely have hammocks on their balconies, and the favourite pastime of most visitors is simply swinging and appreciating the view.
