- With a name as unexpected as the Mountain City, Luang Prabang is the main cultural destination in Laos. Its rich history blends in perfect harmony with the dramatic cliffs surrounding it, the slow flowing Mekong River and its very special cuisine.

- UNESCO designated Luang Prabang is a jewel of a town, jam-packed with beautiful houses and buildings, a plethora of temples, a large population of resident monks, and is just a treat to visit.

- Well worth the lengthy journey through dramatic-looking jungled mountains, this former royal capital in northern Laos is a quiet, walk-able city set amongst a blend of 16th century temples, French colonial residences, and surprisingly good hotels and restaurants.

- Laos is known as the Land of a Million Elephants, an unspolit landlocked country, its rich French heritage evident in its buildings and baguettes and the slow meandering Mekong River providing an endless visual feast. Our short trip took in the cities of Vientiane and Luang Prabang.

- My first stop in Laos was a great success and the differences with Thailand are striking. Kuang Xi waterfall is the definite highlight of Luang Prabang.

- Having nearly been marooned on the riverbank after a near capsize we were glad to get to a village for the evening. Next day, after some real experience of Lao hospitality it was off to Luang Proubang (on a different boat). Nobody was complaining that it was a bit cramped!
