Luang Namtha Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Awesome town filled with beautiful Wats. Every morning at sunrise you can watch the monks receive alms- donations from the locals and in return they are blessed. All the locals are there and as the sun rises you are surrounded by the chanting monks.
Great night market that has traditional clothing and carvings along with t-shirts and food. I...

We were able to select breakfast from a long list. Bill chose the French toast and it was very good - made with baguettes. I had fried eggs with Colorado hash - potatoes, onions and pepper. It was really good too. I think we are going to like the food in Laos. We had another banana shake and some tea. We took a truck/tuk tuk into town for 20,000...

In Luang Namtha we stayed in a beautiful "eco-lodge" on the Namtha River that had little environmentally-friendly cottages. I did a day of trekking around some of the surrounding villages, but some minor sniffels I had quickly turned into a 101 F fever. I took it real easy the next day alternating between sleeping, reading, and sitting by the ri...

After spending 10 days in Thailand for the initial vacation, it is time to get serious and start the real travel by exploring Laos. Luang Namtha, the northern town close to China is the first stop. The province is famous for its variety of tribes, and the beautiful landscapes for trekking. I went on a two day trek in to the national park, visiti...

ok so this is really, really, really annoying because last night i spent a good hour blogging and then just as i come to save, luang namtha's internet power source must have collapsed because the whole computer crashed, now leaving me with nothing. so this morning marks attempt no. 2 at trying to explain what happened that night the girl cried r...

ok so having travelled pretty much non-stop for a few days now, last night we finally reached luang namtha in laos, where we hope to get into the jungle at some point. anyway, while he's away having a shower and recovering from his hangover - mine aches by the way, but there's important things to be done - i shall do my best to get down at least...

4 - 5 jours de ballades a pied et a moto dans les plaines et les montagnes

R: From Luang Prabang, we took a Songthaew to Nong Khiaw. Back in 2002, I did this trip by boat up the Nam Ou River, but today the road is good enough. We found a nice bamboo bungalowa above the river where naked kids were playing all afternoon in order to escape the unbearable heat. T: So did I (not naked), in the late afternoon, when only some...

Still in Luang Nam Tha. In fact have accomplished very little. leaving today as the weather has been ****, and although its clearing now im not convinced its worthwhile staying here. Ill head to UdomXai, check out the scene there. its a bit of a crossroads so it should be interesting to see. maybe head north to phongsali, maybe east, maybe even ...

Before I forget, "Laos" is pronounced with a silent "s", so it sounds like the word "loud" without the "d". You always hear people pronounce the "s", but that's the wrong pronounciation.

Ok, lesson over... today we were up at 7:30 to get to the only bank in town (there's no ATM here) to change some US $ travellers cheques into Laos "Kip"...
