Muang Kham is a quiet town, pleasant, but interesting really only for its proximity to two local sites of fairly limited interest, both of which can be visited from day trips out of Phonsavan. The first is Tham Piew, a large cave that housed over 400 civilians during the secret war, who were all killed when a bomb was dropped into it. The second is the nearby hot springs.

Otherwise the town has very little of interest to offer: a few guesthouses, a couple of restaurants (mostly specialising in noodle soup) a market and the bus stop.
