Little Hot Springs at Muang Ngoi is a small natural geothermal spring site near the village of Muang Ngoi in Luang Prabang Province, Laos, accessible by river from Nong Khiaw and offering a simple, intimate encounter with geothermal waters in one of the Mekong region's most scenically spectacular and car-free tourist villages. The springs flow at moderate temperatures in the forested valley above Muang Ngoi, forming natural shallow pools suitable for immersive bathing in the jungle environment.
