Luang Prabang Villas - Reviews and Rates

Despres de tanta selva, ve de gust retrobar-se amb la civilitzacio, i encara mes si un ho fa a Luang Prabang. Tal vegada sigui un lloc massa turistic (de vegades es l'unic indret que molts turistes visiten a Laos) ple de boutiques-hotel, restaurants amb cuina occidental, paradetes on comprar regals forca interessants, ... pero es que realme...

Second day on the boat, in the morning we had the young lads waiting outside the hotel from about 6am, waiting to take our bags down to the boat for a dollar. On the way to Luang Prabang we stopped at Pak Ou caves, which was centuries old with thousands of Buddhas inside. We got to Luang Prabang, an absolutely beautiful town, with a heavy French...

i know the phrase gets thrown around a lot but I'm never drinking again. I woke up at 1020 this morning with no shirt, no keys and a guilty conscience. Im shaking right now as I write this. Sure, it sounds like a good night and all and it was. But the curfew in this town ensures the fun ends at midnight. However a local bowling alley and a vodka...

After a three day journey from Chiang Mai, Thailand, down the Mekong River we are in Luang Prabang, Laos. It is the Lao New Year--Pi Mai and it's a giant water fight here. We're loving it and completely soaked. All the local kids have super soakers and buckets of water they throw on people as they walk by. The kids love to target Chris...tall an...

Helloooo there... Just one update for the whole of Laos I'm afraid, as otherwise we're going to get waaay behind! Firstly, this is our favourite country so far - what an amazing place! The people are so friendly, the scenery is stunning, the food amazing and the whole country just ridiculously chilled, you never get shouted at, or nearly run-ove...

----We interrupt our regularly scheduled blogging to bring you this very important update about yesterday's events ---- details about the past few days will be posted soon... Sometimes, when traveling in poor countries, you find yourself in the back of a large truck/van thing with benches on either side (padded if you're lucky), careening down a...

Today was the best day off my life, and It was my Birthday. Jess and I decided to wake up at 5 am so that we could give merit to the monks. We left our Guest house at 5:30am accompanied by our American friend Tristan, and our Canadian friend Dana. We walked up the street just in time to buy some sticky rice, cross the street, and get on our kne...

Picture the country of Laos in your mind. Picture the sweeping views of green jungle and small rice paddies from a slow boat on the Mekong River (pronounced - Meekong!), and picture bicycle drawn taxis in the streets as you are driven past a French bakery adjacent to an ornate Wat. Now picture all of this enveloped in a perpetual veil of smoke. ...

On its surface, Luang Prabang is a quaint, comfortable, quiet town filled with ancient wats on every corner, winding alleyways, and French colonial architecture. Locating a guesthouse in any price range and settling down to a nice western meal of pizza, baguette sandwich, or muesli with fruit salad and yogurt is no problem, since this Unesco Wor...

We have arrived in Luang Prabang and have seen some more incredible sights. We arrived after sunset, and strolled along the street market for the evening. Local people set out their crafts and wares along a closed street for the entire night every evening. It's a nice little scene. Our second day we went to the largest waterfall in this area. Ku...
