A quiet little village, Muang Kham is pleasant enough, but interesting really only for its proximity to three local sites of fairly limited interest.
All of the sites can be just as easily visited on day trips out of Phonsavan, which is what most nearly everyone does, so if you're in Muang Kham, Phonsavan is obviously way too mainstream for you.
The sites in question are a cave and a hotspring -- neither are earth-shattering, but they're more than adequate diversions.
First is Tham Piew, a large cave on the road to Sam Neua that 400 civilians used for shelter during the Secret War. One day in the early 1970's US aircraft lobbed a rocket in, killing over 400 civilians who were hiding inside. While there is no memorial at the site, charring from the explosions (four rocket in total were dropped, three missed) can be seen on the exterior of the cave.
Here are some discussions off the Travelfish forum, perhaps related to Muang Kham. You can find the full forum here.
