Day 8: Xam Neua - Muang Him
Due to its remoteness, the small town of Muang Hiam is often overlooked by tourists. Visited chiefly by bikers on the North East Loop and those visiting Nam Et Phou Louey National Park, there is a small amount of tourism infrastructure. However, with a bit of exploring, this town reveals itself to be a hidden gem in the remotes of the north.
The town is built mostly along the bank of the Nam Khan River, which eventually flows down to Luang Prabang and into the Mekong. Here, it is a small trickle of what it becomes as it flows south, but it makes for a more relaxing swim in the right spot. There are a few restaurants overlooking the river. One of the better options is the small River View restaurant, just next to the bridge on the western side. Here, there is a good choice of Lao food, especially the sin dad (Lao BBQ) and even French fries, as well as the only French press coffee in town. Join in a local game of petanque, or watch the river go by while sipping a cold Beer Lao.
