Muang Sing Travel Guide

Muang Sing is located just 90 minutes northwest of Luang Namtha. Located in a valley, the Chinese border is only 10 KM north although only locals can cross here. Once at the heart of opium trade in the Golden Triangle, now local handicrafts can be purchased in the new market. Muang Sing still has several temples to see and from here you can make arrangements to travel to and stay in tribal villages. There are two banks, a tourist center and a rather nice museum with tribal costumes and artifacts on display. There are also many new guest houses and many good restaurants.
