LAOS PART II-LUANG PRABANG

Luang Prabang HERE WE COME!


Mae Kong River world's 12th- longest river and the 7th-longest in Asia.




From our previous stop at Vang Vieng we need to hop on either VIP buses that cost around RM 60 or minivans that cost RM 48 with and it took about 6 to 7 hours journey to go to Luang Prabang. There are three bus stations, each a little bit out of town, which serve different directions. You may ride a tuk-tuk from your place of accommodation to the bus station.

Where to stay?
Same with Vang Vieng here in Lluang Prabang also you can easily find cheap hostel from the lowest price at RM 9 per night at Namsong Sai EcoLoge  or at Xayana Guesthouse

 OR
 at Halolao Backpackers at price of RM 36 per night. And of course, the higher you pay, the better you'll got for the accomodation.



At Halolao Backpackers

Which one will you choose? The RM9 hostel or the RM36's?
You can find any other available lodging in Luang Prabang by refering to this LIST.


Exploring the lane ways and riverbanks on foot or by bike, is some of the best ways to enjoy the relaxing vibe of Luang Prabang. Of the many splendid temples, the most famous is Wat Xieng Thong, where stunning, intricate mosaics portray temple myths and scenes of every day domestic life. Other attractions include a royal palace, now the National Museum, and the compact but fascinating Traditional Arts and Ethnology Centre. A sunrise or sunset climb to the top of the town-centre’s hill, Mount Phousy promises wonderful views of the town and its setting.

Day Trips


With so much to do in Luang Prabang, we’d need more space to recommend everything. First up would have to be a cooking class with us at Tamarind. There is no better way to get insight into the local culture than through a trip to the market and lesson about Lao food.

Anyone looking for a bit more adventure must try some elephant trekking where you cab book it through a responsible local operator. Finally, if you yearn for beautiful, photogenic scenery, a trip out to Kuang Si Waterfalls is a must before you wrapped it up with a visit to a night market to enjoy your money!!

Shopping
Be sure to leave room in your luggage for the enormous keepsake to be found shopping in Luang Prabang where the main street transforms into a wonderland of bright colours at the Night Market. It opens daily until 10 pm and offers a wide variety of textiles, clothing, carvings, basketry, quilts, and much more.

Enjoy your backpacking in exploring Luang Prabang!
Goodbye.
