The Tai Lü was the first guesthouse in Muang Sing and has one of the most attractive exteriors. As the name suggests, the building is Tai Lue style, ringed by a balcony and with wooden detail that has been painted in several different colours. Rooms along the front balcony are simple with no bathroom. At the back there is a concrete building with a number of newer rooms. These are very clean, with a fan, mosquito net and a bathroom with western toilet and cold shower. The guesthouse will boil water in a thermos for a warm wash. The ground floor houses a well-priced restaurant.

They have no telephone, but a message can be left at Muang Sing Guesthouse (081) 212 375.

Finally, superb Lao food - 13th June, 2005
Did not stay here but, seeing that the restaurant always had diners while the others were empty, the choice was obvious. A friendly mom and pop place with ready smiles and good recommendations from the Lao menu serving food that Laotians will readily eat and do cook at home and not fine tune for tourists. Even the sticky rice was good on its own! Ambience was 'faded Laotian' ie dusty floor, crumbling wooden doors, a pet here and there, but overall its what goes in your mouth that ultimately matters...
