Luang Prabang, Laos

Luang Prabang is very quiet if you arrive from a major city like Hanoi in Vietnam. The best transportation is private guide and car but the local Tuk Tuk's are also great transportation options. We arrived late at the airport and it was great to have someone waiting to pick you up in the dark. The flight from Vietnam is often late.

Elephant Training

If you stay in the old town most sights are easy walk except for the Elephant camps and waterfalls.  There are a lot of places to book tours so check out what is offered if you have not made arrangements before arriving.  We booked through Indochina Odyssey Tours and had private guide with driver which allowed us to maximize our time.

Restaurants are numerous and there is a great variety available. If you want to learn how to cook local delicacies there are several cooking schools. Cultural performances are also available so check out where you can go to see a performance either with dinner or in the theater.

                                                                                                                           






Remember there are a lot of temples so be selective.
