Laos Louang Phabang Province Muang Ngoi
Muang Ngoi Neua is a Lao town along the Nam Ou in Louangphrabang Province. It is part of Ngoi district 170km North-East of Luang Prabang. The town is a popular tourist destination because of its surrounding karst limestone mountains and is the starting point of Eco-tourism treks. Notable sights include the Tham Kang cave and Tham Pha Kaew cave north of town which were used as bombshelters during the Vietnam-war era. Every 10 days there is a regional market where tribal villagers come to trade. It is also possible to walk to little-visited surrounding villages for lunch. There are two other villages further afield on the same route, or take boat trips along the river.
