Luang PraBang




We made it to Luang PraBang after enduring another uncomfortable journey. Luang PraBang is a UNESCO World Heritage City, and the former capital of Laos. If you're into temples and monks, Luang PraBang lacks neither.

We visited the former royal palace, which is now The National Museum.

We also made the short hike up Chomsy Hill, which gave us a good view of the city.

We were greeted by many Buddhas on our journey up Chomsy Hill.

 My favorite attraction, by far, however, were the Kuang Si Waterfalls. They were gorgeous and provided a nice relief from Luang PraBang's notorious heat. We spent an afternoon swimming, and enjoying the surroundings.

Yea, I jumped from that tree.

La Pistoche, a swimming pool/bar, is another great place to visit if you're in Luang PraBang. Zoe and I spent an afternoon there relaxing. Just be prepared to be transported back to 2005. They were blasting classics such as Nelly's "AF1s" and "Laffy Taffy."

I enjoyed my time in the former capital of Laos, and I am happy that they seem to take their UNESCO status a bit more seriously than Hoi An.
