Luang Prabang, Laos

Luang Prabang was our first real taste of Laos life and I loved it, the people were great, the atmosphere was great. Walking down the streets it seemed as though there was a fusion of Asian culture and a European city, they make strange bedfellows but work surprisingly well together. As we arrived late we headed straight to the night market for some street food and found that it was full of beautiful fabrics, art and jewellery that all seemed to be hand crafted - a much better night market than any I had visited in Thailand and there was actually room to manoeuvre however if you are tall watch out for low hanging tent rails, they hurt. On a completely unrelated topic the hospital is pretty good there too 😁 If your in the area, make sure to check out Kuang Si waterfalls. In my opinion they were not as serene or beautiful as Erawan but going by the intensity and magnitude of the falls they are stunning, literally, stop and stand still for a time just staring. Definitely worth a trip.Read more
