Hikes will introduce you to villagers fishing in the river and farmers working their paddy fields, but one thing you won&#8217;t see much of is other tourists.<\/p>\n<p>Stay: At Muang La Lodge, a graceful property where you can soak in the natural hot spring by day and soak up traditional Khamu music and dance by night.<\/p>\n<h2>Where To Be Sporty<\/h2>\n<h3>Nong Khiaw<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_168674\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-168674\" style=\"width: 1400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-168674 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2019\/10\/Laos-travel-guide-Nong-Khiaw-River.jpg\" alt=\"Nong Khiaw river\" width=\"1400\" height=\"795\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2019\/10\/Laos-travel-guide-Nong-Khiaw-River.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2019\/10\/Laos-travel-guide-Nong-Khiaw-River.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2019\/10\/Laos-travel-guide-Nong-Khiaw-River.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2019\/10\/Laos-travel-guide-Nong-Khiaw-River.jpg 1024w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1400\/795;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-168674\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nong Khiaw is an up-and-coming hot spot in Laos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Three hours\u2019 drive north from Luang Prabang, Nong Khiaw is an alluringly pretty town on the banks of the Nam Ou River, and feels like a true haven.
