What our travelers think of their stay
Luang Prabang is a town in the north of Laos which is famous for the large number of temples it has and is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
My suggestion
If you get up early in the morning you can join in the procession of the Buddhist monks around the town, looking for offerings. The locals put rice and other food in the monks' bowls.

My suggestion
Whatever you do don't miss the night market!
Luang Prabang is a Laotian treasure. It's built on a human scale, is culturally rich and is without doubt one of the most interesting places in the country.
My suggestion
Every morning at 5.30am, monks file down the streets begging for alms. It's an endless trail of orange robes and a spectacular scene to witness.

My suggestion
At dusk, Luang Prabang offers a magnificent sunset view from the heights of Mount Phousi, which is located in the city centre... it's worth spending at least one night in the city just to enjoy it!
Listed as a UNESCO world heritage site, the privileged location of Luang Prabang has enabled it to preserve both its traditional and colonial architecture.
My suggestion
If the procession of the monks may have become a cliché for some, for me it remains an essential and moving experience. You won't regret getting up early to be there! I advise you get out by 4:45 a.m. Not to be missed during a stay in Laos!
