That Phoum Pouk
ທາດພູມພຸກ
An ancient stupa site and rebuilt golden stupa on a hill south of town, a classic stop on the Luang Namtha rice paddy cycling loop.
That Phoum Pouk stands on a hill south of the new town, in the area of the old town and the airport. It is said to have a long history and was damaged during wartime. A new golden stupa was built beside the original site, and the old stupa base can still be seen. From the summit you look over the Nam Tha valley and its rice fields. Most visitors rent a bicycle or motorbike and stop here on the loop through rice fields and Tai Lue, Dai and Black Tai villages. Admission is free.
