Muang Phin

Muang Phin lies east of the Mekong plain in the wooded country of Savannakhet. To its south flows the Xe Bang Hieng, a river descending from the eastern mountains toward the Mekong. Forest and streams surround the settlements of this interior region, home to several communities with distinct languages and traditions. The river valley provides a natural route through land that rises toward the Annamese mountains.
