Xieng Kok is a small village by the Mekong River in Luang Namtha Province in Northern Laos.
Very basic bungalows with fan, mosquito net and en suite shower and squat toilet. Very nice views to Mekong river. There is also a Chinese-style restaurant with seems to be popular with locals. Prices for single dishes were not especially cheap (30.000 kip for rice with pork) but portions were large and overall food was delicious. Eating by group probably more affordable. No English spoken.
By songthaew from Muang Sing or by rented motorcycle (preferably dirt bike) from Luang Namtha. There are also cargo boats running up and downstream on the Mekong.
