Luang Prabang

This morning's 2 hour flight from Bangkok delivered us to beautiful Luang Prabang, notable for its remarkable geography (steep mountain peaks divided by the Mekong River) as well as its royal palaces, gilded Buddhist temples, sumptuous textiles and artwork, and incredible cuisine. Tonight we're visiting the night market and then dining at the Little Lao restaurant (https://www.theyumlist.net/2024/11/little-lao-c… author of this article seems like a rather annoying individual, but her descriptions of the food accurately convey the dining experience).
Dinner at Little Lao was incredible...if this restaurant was in SF or NY you wouldn't be able to book a table for months. Delicious and unusual but some dishes VERY spicy!

We head tomorrow morning at 5:45 to see the Buddhist monks line up with their alms bowls which are filled each morning with rice cooked by local residents. A tour of the Royal Palace, history museum,and a mountain top temple will complete the day's adventure in time to enjoy our hotel's fabulous pool. And yes, it is HOT here!Leer más
