Muang Ngoi

Muang Ngoi

The vast majority of guesthouses in Muang Ngoi are very basic thatch and bamboo bungalows with hammocks and terrific views over the river. If you get a room with a private bathroom you're doing well, though they're more common than they used to be as the tourist surge has poured more dollars into the area. Don't be put off -- Muang Ngoi is still largely untouched and retains its natural beauty while absorbing none of the garishness that has plagued other touristy towns.
