Muang Ngoy Holidays

Play bowls with the Laotians, and drink some Lao-Lao but not too much - watch out for the hangover!

Expect to stay two or three days - that way you'll have time to walk to neighbouring villages that are a few kilometres from Muang Ngoi and even have the chance to stay in people's homes! Ideal if you want to meet the local Laotians.

In my opinion, the end-of-the-world atmosphere that Muang Ngoy offers you justifies a stay of at least two days to take advantage of the area.

Think about hiring a guide to take you around the region. Bear in mind the forest is incredibly dense and the trails hard to follow. Make sure you don't get lost!
