Luang Prabang Hotels - Reviews and Rates

26 Jan - A lazy day for us and after a leisurely breakfast we walked to the oldest Temple in Luang Prabang, Wat Thieng Thong. It was not looked after and we were not so impressed with it. We then walked around the very quiet peninsula and stopped for our first coffee of the trip, in a cafe overlooking the Nam Kham river where I took a great phot...

Luang Prabang provided some needed rest and escape after the traumas of the journey here. The town was set between the Mekong on one side and the Jungle on the other. We climbed to the top of Phou Si hill in the centre of town and the views were absolutely breathtaking. The following day we went on a cycle and crossed a narrow wooden bridge to t...

After Vang Vieng, it was time for another very windy drive to Luang Prabang. I went into sleep-mode, my anti-travel sickness remedy. Upon arrival, a few of us went for a wander through the night markets which proved abosultely massive, and pretty good bargains to be found. It was a pretty low-key night, another group diner and internet catch-up....

Have been in Luang Prabang for a few days and am being relatively lazy. Had a bit of a down time after leaving another group of great people and being on my own. I always meet up with people again, but I hate leaving people behind. This town is known for it's monasteries and monks (I have 3 monks on the computer next to me as I type). My first d...

One of our staff members Kheak Khounphasucht, known as Khack asked us yesterday yo go to the waterfalls and he would take us with his mate and his tuk tuk. It was Khacks day off and we think he fancied a swim and it was an opportunity for him to speak English with us to help with his education and to make a few dollars, in any order you want to ...

Left Pai at 8pm and arrived into Luang Prabang 2 days later at 6pm. It was an extremly weird and funny experience. Had an overnight bus ride from Pai to the Laos border. This was pretty hell. I didnt manage to sleep a wink the whole journey. Got to the border at about 6am. Had a bite to eat then had to sort out visas and mentally prepare myself ...

Today, Yale and I are flying to Southern Laos for the next week before we head out to Siem Reap. Yesterday we managed a couple of errands -- buying a piece of luggage in Chinese market so that we can get our gifts home, securing our hotel in Pakse, etc . We did still have some time for some what you call traditional fun. We hired a tuk-tuk to ta...

Despues de pasar dos dias en un barco lleno de backpackers (como yo) con parada en un un pueblo para dormir (Pakben), conseguimos llegar finalmente a Luang Prabang. Teneis que saber que Laos no es precisamente famoso por la velocidad, aqui uno tarda 6 horas en bus para hacer 150km... porque la mitad de las carreteras estan sin asfaltar... asi qu...

" We are all travelers on a long, amazing journey through a universe that is never still. It is a journey filled with danger and opportunity. Each one of us has the freewill to chose our direction. And each one of us is responsible for all of our actions." An exert from a book called "Karma" by Phra Bhasakorn Bhavilai LAOS(Indochina)!!!!!!!!!!! ...

Luang Prabang was our next destination. You have to have fun saying the name, Luang Prabang! We were not looking forward to the 6 hour bus trip from Vang Vieng to Luang Prabang. It is only 200km's but takes 6 hours on the minibus (it's really just a mini van) or 7 hours on the larger bus. The road goes right through the mountains and is continuo...
