After our intense and exciting stay in Vietnam, Luang Prabang was the perfect place to relax. I didn’t know a lot about Laos before arriving here. The cuisine hasn’t taken over internationally and with a small population (around 7 million), Laos isn’t the most talked about country in South East Asia. We spent just over 1 week in this country, with the first 4 days in Luang Prabang.

I haven’t met a traveller yet that did not love Luang Prabang. The town is sandwiched between the Mekong and the Nam Khan River, which offers some pretty lovely views. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995, preserving the serene and tranquil mood of the city. There isn’t a whole lot to do in Luang Prabang, but you will find it a very special place. I will warn you though, this is not at all off the beaten track. There are many tourists here, but they all seemed to be the good ones! Luang Prabang is not a place to party, but a place to relax.
