Luang Prabang Hostels - Reviews and Rates

Hi all!

Yet more blogging today because it's miserable and raining. Can hardly find a seat in the internet cafes because they're so full of backpackers today. I think ye all stole our weather!

Went to those caves yesterday but we were a bit lazy and stayed in bed for ages! Got a river boat at about 2.30 but didn't realise that it t...

Hello, So, Luang Prabang. we arrived there and decided to do the trick of me (EW by the way) sitting in a cafe and Raywood wandering off to find somewhere to stay. Whilst doing this she came across Ambrine and Ruth who we were with in Vang Vieng, Halong Bay and other points in Vietnam and Cambodia. So we went to stay where they were staying, for...

we felt we had better pull ourselves away from our little bungalow paradise in the vang vieng countryside, and head north to probably the most well known part of laos: luang prabang. in the end what i would say about luang prabang is that is felt too much like a world heritage site - very pretty on the surface but not enough soul. we did enjoy w...

This was a free day, as Sophie went off to bath elephants - something she always want to do, me and David met up with Vong our guide, to take us round his home town. He took us to UXO museum, over 40 million bombs were dropped on Laos during the war - that's frightening. He then took us to the snake whiskey stall (which is against Intrepids reso...

In February, four women, aged 13 to 82, made a trek to Luang Prabang in Lao to visit another member of the Henderson clan, now in her 2nd year as a volunteer in L.P. So, we left our skis and snowshoes (and winter coats) behind and dooned our sandals and hats and perservered the 40 hour trip from central Canada, via Chicaco, Toyko, and Bangkok to...

Had nothing really planned here but to take it easy for a couple of days and relax before heading on into Thailand. We got the savage 7 hour bus of winding terrible roads all the while I was feelin ****. Got there in the end though and just searched around for a place to stay and set up camp. I was feelin much better and actually risked some cre...

We arrived in Luang Prabang last night via our long boat. Our lodges are beautiful separate huts by the river - you'll be pleased to hear we got special 'honeymoon' treatment. We went out last night to the local market to browse and try the market food - barbecued chicken, pork and fish on sticks, very tasty. Followed by beerlao on our porch. To...

I dragged Lorna out of bed this morning to take her to another guesthouse. The new guesthouse (can't remember the name at the moment) is a nicer place, has a tv in the bedroom - with cable and is cheaper! All works for me. We don't get free internet though, but that isn't a major factor. On the way to the new place, we stopped off at the Scandin...

I've decided that as its my birthday soon I should give as well as receive. Although, I probably won't be receiving seeing as I am in Laos. Anyway, in case you decide to have a birthday cake in my honour, I am rewarding you with some poetry pie. Right so this is a collection of some poetry I have written in the last two weeks, seeing as I only h...

This morning, I asked to have the TV turned on to help me wake up and we were shocked to see that overnight, Obama had come within six delegates of the nomination. We sat up slowly in our beds, marveling. By the time Leah had fetched breakfast, he'd clinched the nomination. We watched, in turn, McCain, Clinton and Obama give speeches. We did not...
