Boat
The public boat leaves Muang Ngoi for Nong Kiaow at 09:30. The fare is 20,000 kip per person and it takes a little less than an hour. on't worry about the boat filling up — they'll send a second one if needed.
Outside of this time, you will need to charter your own boat. We were quoted a price of 350,000 kip one-way or 600,000 kip round-trip, but if you can find a boatman who needs to go there anyway you'll have some bargaining power. You should be able to hitch a ride with someone heading that way for less than 100,000 kip.
If that's too pricey, try to negotiate a fare onboard a boat that happens to be going from one to the other, usually for some sort of delivery. A fair price is around 50,000 kip/person.
A boat to Muang Khua departs at 09:30, costs 100,000 kip and takes 4-5 hours. Note that this boat requires a minimum of 10 passengers to go. There's a passenger sign-up sheet and information at the boat ticket office. Price will vary if there are more or less passengers.
