Houeixay Travel Guide

Houeixay is in the north-west corner of Laos on the border with Thailand and only kilometres from Myanmar. The Thai/Chinese influence is evident in the local architecture and culture. This area of Laos is not widely travelled by tourists because of the connection with the Golden Triangle. Those who venture to the area will be impressed with the natural beauty and the friendliness of the locals. While many new Guest Houses and restaurants are available, most people stop here to catch a boat on the Mekong River south to Luang Prabang.
