This small village is the closest point to the Ban Huay Kon / Muang Ngoen border crossing between Thailand and Laos. Aside from the border crossing, there is a border market which runs every Saturday morning.

Aside from the border crossing, there is little reason to visit here aside from the stunning scenery, although if you want to hang out in a isolated village, then this is a fine choice.

Basic food is available in the village.

We've heard, second hand, of an independent crossing at this border in early May 2008, so this opens up a terrific new route for travel into Laos.
