Nam Ou Guesthouse can be accessed by a rickety wooden staircase from the riverbank, & two paths that lead in from the main road, one starting near Sernnali Hotel, the other from the bus station.

Walking past the little market into the rabbit warren of homes & a badminton court with kids playing the slipper game, Muang Khua had the feel of a nice (albeit highly concretised) village =) At the top of the steps leading down to Nam Ou Guesthouse, the red-roofed structure with cream coloured walls on the left:
