Luang Prabang a Second Time Around

Due to logistics, we had the opportunity to travel to Luang Prabang a second time! It is the cultural capital of Laos. During our visit, we had the chance to further explore this beautiful city and appreciate its rich history and culture.

We did get up early in the morning (of course I protested) to observe the Alms ritual where people can make food offerings like sticky rice to the monks. While interesting to observe, we did see some rudeness from other visitors where they get to close to the monks to have a picture or selfie taken - SMH.

Besides the temples and palaces, we were also able to explore the many hidden alleyways, cafes, shops, restaurants, and markets around Luang Prabang. We had the chance to sample some of the local cuisine, including various types of noodles, rice dishes and other traditional Laotian favorites. The markets were also great for finding unique souvenirs and gifts to take home.

Overall, we had a wonderful time exploring Luang Prabang and its many treasures.
