Visit the Tribal Museum in Muang Sing
kharmencita Says: *Visit the Tribal Museum of Muang SingUnknowingly, My guesthouse was just few meters across the opposite side of the Museum of Muang Sing. At the Balcony of my Guesthouse I was able to take a picture of the Building. Inside the museum are large collections of traditional...
The Leaning Houses of the Akha Village
kharmencita Says: Like the leaning Tower of Pisa, this is one of the very unique and weird experiences i ever had to watch and observe how the people live in these kinds of houses which is almost 5°-to 6° degrees leaning in any directions. How can they live in here? Are the floorings also...
My 1st encounter w/ endangered Tribe of Muang Sing
kharmencita Says: It was not easy for us to reach the villages in Muang Sing because the roads are not so well developed. As seen on my picture the way has lots of holes and very rugged which needed lots of efforts and energy to walk esp. under the heat of the sun. We started to walk early in...
davidjo Says: There are hundreds of trucks loaded with sugar cane heading to China everyday, and if you wander off of the main road you will see the locals loading the trucks by hand.
davidjo Says: Muang Sing museum is in the main street, which contains many local artefacts and costumes. The building is interesting too!
steevie_wanders Says: Walk out into the hills around Muang Singh. Pass through vast fields of Sugar Cane, rice paddies, lumbering water buffalo and friendly people. As the land around Muang Singh gently rises up to hills, it's easy to pick a walk as easy or hard as you like. Ask around at your...
steevie_wanders Says: Hire a delightful chinese bicycle in the town, and cruise around the roads. As Muang Singh is situated on a broad valley floor, most of the roads are flat, thus ideal for cycling. The ancient bikes we hired had only one gear and primitive brakes, so a lack of hills was...
steevie_wanders Says: Find a guide and trek up into the hills around the town, staying overnight in a hill tribe village. See Accomodation - Adima tip for more info..I stayed in an 'Akha' tribe village, walking up for a few hours, stopping for a delicious lunch the guides had bought from the...
Most beautiful views: Walking trails GH Adima
AndIDream Says: On your way to the Chinese border, there is a small town where Guesthouse Adima is. Here starts a nice walk to several Mien and Akha villages and a superb view over the area. To my personal opinion, one of the most beautiful views I've seen in Laos, even when it was raining...
ADIMA RESORT: great accommodation 2 kms from Chinese border
davidjo Says: We stayed at Adima for several days after finding the guest houses in the centre of town left a lot to be desired. There were several bungalows built on stilts offering a wonderful view of the surrounding countryside. Meals were cheaper than normal and were more delicious...
steevie_wanders Says: Adima is situated a few km north of Muang Singh, easily accessible from the town by pickup. It is nestled at the base of the hills and many footpaths lead up into the wooded countryside. The accomodation is bamboo bungalows with a central terrace/restaurant where you can...
In the main street there area couple of places to rent a bicycle or motorbike. We went to the Chinese border, but not too interesting (just for the sake of going). Better take any of the side roads and visit local villages. Take plenty water.

The market is a great place to see Muang Singh come to life. Arrive early (7 to 8am) to see the great mix of hilltribes, laotians, and chinese buying and selling everything and anything. Much fresh produce, meat of all descriptions, alcohol, cigarettes, clothing and of course the hilltribe jewellery and crafts. Many of the hill tribe ladies selling their wares are insistent but friendly. Choose carefully before showing interest as they don't seem to like loosing your custom to another seller!

Muang Singh is a little gem of a town. The town itself is not so distinctive, but the location is special. It is only a few km from the chinese border, and is surrounded by hilltribe villages. This......
In Muang Sing, you can easily rent a bike and cycle to the Chinese border. The town is in the middle of the Golden Triangle and not long ago opium would still be sold in public.
