Just a bump in the road, the hamlet of Phong To, sits midway along the way between Lai Chau and Muong Lay. It's a very unassuming little berg with little (in fact, just about nothing) to recommend it, but if you're looking for somewhere to break for the night it's as good a choice as Muong Lay.

On our last visit in mid 2010 the road either side of town was in a terrible state, mid-construction, so be prepared for lengthy and bumpy journeys and delays caused by toppled trucks.

Orientation
There are no banking services for foreigners in Phong To, but internet is available at the Lan Anh II for 10,000 VND per hour and at the post office, up the road heading towards Muong Lay, where it costs a mere 3,000 VND per hour. For such a quite place the post office is open surprisingly long hours.

Buses in either direction can be picked up along the main road and there is no real bus station to speak of.

Phong To Post Office: On the road to Muong Lay, on the right, Phong To. T: (0231) 896 226, F: (0231) 896 227. Hours: 07:00 to 21:30.

Accommodation: Phong To

Your review

(Remotely sensible, non-ranting comments are much appreciated. If you don't like somewhere, please explain why -- it's all far more helpful for others that way.) Serial ranters, loons and spammers will be banished!
And please, no self-promotional URLs -- that's what your signature field is for.

So how does it rate?

On a scale of one to ten (with 10 being outstanding and 1 being bloody awful) how would you rate here under the following criteria?

Note: Ratings are OUT OF TEN -- not five!
Please note comments are edited for clarity, typos and style before they appear. Ranting tirades, spam and anything else that really belongs somewhere else won't make the cut. If you want to rant, go to Thorntree.
