Sala Prabang

5 days in Luang Prabang : - One day off: pampering - Visit on foot: town, temples and museum  - Tuktuk day to Pak Ou ...

... a bit of sweat just sitting eating. The waterfalls that were about 30km from the town were one of the highlights of Luang Prabang.  Tumbling some 50mm into various pools and eventually down into the quiet river, this cool, blue yet cloudy water was ...

... boat back had the most amazing sunsets and made a fantastic day out. In the end we ended up spending six days in Luang Prabang, which was a little too long for our liking, unless you do loads of trekking tours (which there are tons to choose from). ...

... me fed. So, I'm back in Luang Prabang staying at the Senesouk Guesthouse. It's a little less expensive than my last place (Sala Luang Prabang), but just as nice. It doesn't have a Mekong River view, but it does have a balcony that overlooks the wat ...

Eight beautiful days in Luang Prabang, a gem along the banks of the Mekong and Nam Khan Rivers.  We stayed at a hotel, the Sala Prabang, which gave us a view of the Mekong River.  While it was hot when there was no cloud cover, we were fortunate ...

... are old and I was going to throww them out at the end of the trip.   J feeling better so after we move to another hotel Sala Prabang, we go for a walk round town. We climb the 100m up the Phu Si Hill. There is a temple at the top with great views ...

New hotel has terrace overlooking the Mekong so we have an interesting breakfast watching river traffic including a vehicle ferry made from two river boat hulls bolted together with a platform over the middle. People are tending their vegetable plots on ...

... that if you want to walk in the middle of a water fight you shouldn't expect to stay dry. We really enjoyed Luang Prabang. We spent a lot of time just wandering around and of course eating. Much of the city architecture has a strong French influence ...

... in many styles including one that was built in the Thai style. The tour ended up on top of the hill that overlooked Luang Prabang. There is a small Wat, Phu Si, but further on from it, are various Buddhist statues and finally a huge footprint that the ...

... Luang Prabang a little after noon and saw hordes of tourists everywhere (including me). I booked into the uber-swank Sala Luang Prabang overlooking the Mekong and I'm really looking forward to dinner tonight...and perhaps a foot massage. Later, ...

... sun is sets over the mountains, peaceful and stunning. Having hated the bus trip to Vang Vieng I opted for a minibus to Luang Prabang. Big Mistake. Huge. 7 hours, no air con, an annoying woman who kept closing the window because she didn't want to mess ...

... hilly and winding. That is why it is going to take us 8 or 9 hours to travel the 301 kms from Luang Namtha to Luang Prabang. We had 2 roadside stops (had to find cover in the bushes if you had to relieve yourself), at one they only sold watermelon ...

This trip was going to be the biggest challenge. We had a 6 hour journey over the mountains to get to Luang Prabang. We had been pre-warned that it was a nauseating ride. Rob had suffered the whole of the next day after his big night out with the ...

... Nam Song is the go. Christmas approaches rapidly, altho you'd hardly know it over here; we expect we'll be in Luang Prabang for Chrissy, then meander north up the Maekong into the Golden Triangle, and spend a few days around Chiang Mai before heading to ...

... ;Off we trekked through the masses pimping for any business they could get. It was only ten minutes until we reached the hotel SALA LUANG PRABANG.  It looked very nice and once they showed us the room we were sold.  The first thing we wanted, ...
