Journey from Chiang Mai to Chiang Khong
12 ottobre 2019, Tailandia ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
Since I was working until Saturday in Chiang Mai, I had decided to travel through Laos in my fall holidays. It's only about a six-hour bus ride via Chiang Rai, but I got a little bored on the bus. However, Chiang Khong was pleasant enough and I was lucky to get a decent meal (and a beer) before going to bed in a room looking over the Mekong.Leggi altro

Chiang Khong
13 ottobre 2019, Tailandia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Got up early to see a beautiful sunrise, then was picked up to be taken to the border. Since it was Sunday, everything was a little slow, but our group finally made it across to Laos where we were picked up and taken to our boat, on which we would stay two days. The rest of the day we enjoyed looking at the scenery, seeing fields, and mountains and locals pass by.Leggi altro

Cruising down the Mekong
13 ottobre 2019, Laos ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
After a delicious lunch, we visited a small village where we were able to see how a local community lives. It reminded me very much of the villages I visited in 2004 when I did this trip for the first time. Time has seemed to stand still..Leggi altro

The Journey continues...
14 ottobre 2019, Laos ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
We spent the night in a lovely little resort in small village called Pak Beng. In 2004 I had also spent the night in this village, but it was much smaller then and there was only a very simple accomodation, where we had to sleep on the floor. This place had definately changed. I had met some nice people from Canada and Australia on the boat and we went to an Indian restaurant where we enjoyed some good vegetarian food. The next morning we were back on the boat at 9 o'clock and continued our journey. Later on we visited another village. This one was a little bigger and we were able to buy some nice scarfs woven by the women of the village.Leggi altro

The Buddha Cave
14 ottobre 2019, Laos ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C
In the late afternoon, the sun came out and we went to visit a cave with hundreads of small buddha statues. I'd seen that cave in 2004 and the number of buddhas had definately increased since.

Festival of Lights in Luang Prabang
14 ottobre 2019, Laos ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
When we arrived in Luang Prabang I realized that the anual festival of lights was going to happen on that exact date. How fortunate! The town was packed, as was to be expected, but it was a wonderful and very special experience which I enjoyed very much! Apparently, every community or club in the area builds a boat. They are carried or moved throught the whole city, then the candles are lit and the boats are being put on the water. It includes a lot of manpower and strenths, but it is a beautiful sight. Furthermore, the whole city is decorated with colourful lights. It was indeed the best point of time to visit beautiful Luang Prabang.Leggi altro

Good morning, Luang Prabang
15 ottobre 2019, Laos ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
Unfortunately, I had to switch hostels for the first night, because there were bedbugs in my room. However, I still managed to get a good night's sleep and my breafkast definately made up for it!

Strolling around Luang Prabang
15 ottobre 2019, Laos ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
The town has changed quite a bit since I'd last been there, lots of new hostels, restaurants and stores have opened. However, the old town with all of the temples and the life next to the Mekong is just as beautiful as I remember it.Leggi altro

The Old Town

It was impressive how empty the town was the day after the festival of lights. I had entire streets to myself and I really enjoyed that!
