Luang Prabang is the jewel in Laos’ crown.
Located only a short stroll from the main intersection of the town, and not far from the tourist information center it is a remnant of the French influence on this tiny township.
01.
From the tourist office in the center of town, turn left at the main intersection and then the first right down a nameless street which serves as the morning market.
02.
It is free to wander the grounds of the now defunct Lao Royal Family home with a small entrance fee if you want to go inside the main building.
03.
Here you will find a cute little temple, numerous buddha status and outside the walls in the neighboring compound where the residential facilities are, a number of stupas.
04.
Whilst there are a variety of different dining options available on the main street, we highly recommend choosing places that have a ‘less polished’ look about them.
