Overview
Xieng Kok is a small village by Mekong river in Luang Namtha Province in Northern Laos.
Description
A little frontier town consisting primarily of wooden houses and bamboo shacks along the Mekong, Xieng Kok is as out there as it gets for a foreign traveller in Laos. Across the river is Myanmar’s Shan State and though Xieng Kok feels nothing more than a sleepy outpost, the remote river border between Laos and Myanmar is a well-known drug trade route operated by armed groups.
