Muong Lay

We've had a psychic premonition that you'll be staying at the Lan Anh Hotel on your visit (eerie, isn't it?) and since the food there is forgettable it would be great if we found some prime options in and around town. Sorry. We tried. It's the people of Muong Lay that just ain't trying, gol'darnit! But we scared up some superb morning noodles at Son Hoa, which is right at the intersection of the town road and the road into town. Head there rather than waiting for two hours while they forget your order at the Lan Anh.

Son Hoa: Town road, near the road into town, on the hill, Muong Lay. T: (0230) 853 529. Hours: 05:00 to 22:00
