Luang Prabang, Laos

Temples & Monks & River runs 



Luang Prabang, is my favorite place to visit in Southeast Asia. Everything from the views, the people, and the food, I loved it! The town is completely relaxing. Even with all of the other visitors we were able to find locals and be alone. The town is surrounded by Nam Khan river and Mekong River. We took a boat ride at sunset and strolled past the Bamboo bridge. There are many monks walking around the town and the children's schools are held in Temples too. I found the entire place safe and relaxing. I especially loved running in the mornings along the water. Having the river to run along was very refreshing... actually it was my favorite part. During one of our walks we stopped in a little village and visited with a woman who was weaving some scarfs. We bought one of course. The food has both Thai and French influences, which I found to be perfect balance of tastes. I will definitely be back to Luang Prabang and I hope you get a chance to visit there too.
