Luang Prabang - Elephant Camp - Laos 6/18

Luang Prabang has both natural and historical sites.
Among the natural tourism sites are the Kuang Si Falls, Tat Sae Waterfalls, and Pak Ou Caves. Elephant riding is offered at some sites.
Phou Si, in the center of the town, has broad views of the town and river systems, and is a popular place to watch the sun setting over the Mekong River. At the end of the main street of Luang Prabang is a night market where stalls sell shirts, bracelets, and other souvenirs.
The Haw Kham Royal Palace Museum and the Wat Xieng Thong temple are among the best known historical sites. The town, particularly the main street, is dotted with many smaller wats such as Wat Hosian Voravihane. Every morning at sunrise, monks walk in a procession through the streets accepting alms offered by local residents, an event popular with tourists but subject to some controversy surrounding tourist etiquette.
Mountain biking is quite common, with people often biking around the town or to the waterfalls for the day. Down the Mekong River, a 15-minute boat ride from the city centre, Ban Chan (the pottery village) is an interesting place.
Luang Prabang received 'Best City' in the Wanderlust Travel Awards 2015.

Luang Prabang Pottery

The making of high temperature pottery goes back many hundreds of years in Luang Prabang - even before the Lan Xan Empire. In this video we cycle down very muddy roads to find the potters at work in their villages.

First ceramics and ruku in Luang Prabang

We are the Lamphet family. We provided pottery classes and tour at the Pottery House; it’s located in Ban Chan near Luang Prabang Laos. A part from the tour we also produce pottery and ceramics.
It’s our passion to preserve the history and tradition of our village. And pottery has been making in this village more than 400 years, but that way of life is slowly fading away. Our hope is to use these tours to preserve the tradition of our village and provide a sustainable way of life for families.

Luang Prabang Travel Guide - Laos Charming Moments

Luang Prabang Travel Guide - Laos Charming Moments

Luang Prabang (ຫຼວງພຣະບາງ), also Luang Phabang, Luang Phrabang and Louang Phrabang is the former capital of Laos and is now a UNESCO World Heritage city. Set at the confluence of two rivers that almost surround the city, and beneath a temple-topped hill, Luang Prabang is a wonderful patchwork of traditional Lao wooden houses and hints of European architecture; reminders of when Laos was part of the French colony of Indochine. Golden-roofed wats, decorated with mosaics and murals of the life of Buddha, sit under the gaze of wrap-around teak balconies and 19th century shuttered windows. All of this is set against a backdrop of verdant greenery and rugged mountains.

As a visitor, you cannot help but be amazed by the tidiness and cleanliness of perhaps the most charming city in all of Southeast Asia. With UNESCO so closely involved and a largely responsible group of local business owners, the pressures of mass tourism development have been held at bay, but for how much longer remains to be seen. Restaurants along the main street tend to be expensive and aimed at luxury tourists, whilst lower cost venues are along the banks of the Mekong.

The reopening of Laos to tourism in 1989 resulted in a remarkable turnaround in the city's fortunes, as crumbling timber houses and colonial mansions were sensitively restored and transformed into immaculate guesthouses and boutique hotels. In 1995 the city was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Luang Prabang has both natural and historical sites. Among the natural tourism sites are the Kuang Si Falls, Tat Sae Waterfalls, and Pak Ou Caves. Elephant riding is offered at some sites.

The Potter of Attapeu

Attapeu is in Laos. Coiled, ash glazed pots fired in the hole-in-the-ground kilns. The chimney is what remains of an Anagama built by a Thai ngo. It didn't work for him.
