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. 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. 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 features a tropical wet and dry climate (Aw) under the Köppen climate classification. While the city is generally very warm throughout the year, it is noticeably cooler during December and January. Luang Prabang is served by Luang Prabang International Airport with non-stop flights to adjoining countries. Luang Prabang is linked by Route 13 with Vang Vieng and Vientiane, and by Route 1 with Muang Xay. Route 13 also connects the city to Cambodia.

=========================
Lao National Museum (Revolutionary Museum ພິພິຕະພັນແຫ່ງຊາດ), Thanon Samsenthai (next to Lao Plaza Hotel). 08:00-12:00, then 13:00-16:00. Update as of May 2019: the old national museum on Thanon Samsenthai is closed now. There is a new national museum a few km away but it isn't opened yet. This means as of now you can't visit any national museum. Formerly the Lao Revolutionary Museum by name, the historical exhibits on the first floor are modest though very interesting in depicting some of the early history. They include one of the original Jars from the Plain of Jars and various stone and bronze age implements. The second floor provides us with a great insight into the 18th Century Laotian Kingdom and the customs of the day. It would appear that the Loatians didn't treat their guests quite as well in those days, often keeping them from leaving the country for several months. The floor builds up to a fervently revolutionary pitch as it documents the heroic struggle of the Lao against the Siamese (Thai), French and American imperialists. Exhibits include items such as socks worn by Politburo members when they escaped from prison and Kaysone Phomvihane's chest expander. The final rooms, on post-revolutionary Laos, are mostly a photo gallery of pressing topics such as the comrades of the 7th Plenary Session of the Laos People's Congress inspecting fertilizer production processes. The final rooms provide an insight into some of the modern advancements, though these are fairly dowdy and uninspiring. A guestbook regularly features amusing arguments between young western visitors on the subject of communism. Most exhibits are labelled in English, though some French labelling remains, occasionally to the exclusion of English. Foreigner: 10,000 kip, Laotian: 2m000.
A local rendition of Paris' Arc de Triomphe. Besides the elaborate Buddhist embellishment, it differs from the original in having four gates instead of two and being just a bit higher (to trump the French). Reasonably impressive from afar, a surprisingly frank English sign inside the monument labels it a monster of concrete when seen up close - and the concrete in question was donated by the US, although it was supposed to go towards a new airport instead: hence the nickname the Vertical Runway. The monument itself aside, the palm tree-lined park around it complete with fountains is quite pleasant though lacking of shade during the day time. You can climb up to the 7th story for a nice view of central Vientiane and three levels of souvenir shops with less than enthusiastic sales people sitting about. Features a musical fountain nearby that attracts visitors from around Laos and Asia, as well as a World Peace gong presented by Indonesia. Roving cameramen will be happy to charge you for photos near these attractions. 3000 kip (to climb).
COPE Visitor Centre, Khou Vieng Road (1km from Talat Sao (Morning Market) Opposite Green Park Hotel), 09:00-18:00. The Cooperative Orthotic and Prosthetic Enterprise, or COPE, is a local not for profit organisation that provides orthotic, prosthetic, rehabilitation and advocacy services for survivors of UXO accidents and other people with disabilities in Laos. During the Vietnam War (1964-1973), conflict spilled over into Laos in a secret war where more than 500,000 bombing missions dropped over two million tons of ordnance on the country. The COPE Visitor Centre provides visitors with the opportunity to understand the impact of UXO on Lao PDR, issues related to disability in developing countries and the work of the COPE project through a free permanent exhibition.
The Art of Silk, Manthatourath Road, Lao Women's Union, ☎ 7719798 or 2202547. Mon-Fri 9am-4pm. A local magazine says Phone before visiting as there is no permanent staff. free(?).
Kaysone Phomvihane Museum, km6 Dongdok Road, ☎ 911215. Tue-Sun 09:00-16:00. Museum about Kaysone Phomvihane. Foreigner: 5,000 kip, Laotian: 2,000 kip.
Lao People's Army History Museum, Kaysone Phomvihane Road, Ban Nongsangthong, ☎ 900662. Tue-Sun 08:30-16:30. Museum about the army. Foreigner: 5000, Laotian: 2000.
Memorial of president Souphanouvong, Kaysone Phomvihane Road, Ban Phonsa-art. Tue-Sun 08:30-16:00. Foreigner: 5000, Laotian: free.

Khaen music of the Lao people celebrated as humanity’s heritage.
Hundreds of officials, foreign guests, musicians, performers and Vientiane residents gathered last night in Vientiane celebrating the international recognition of Khaen music of the Lao people as humanity’s heritage.
Prime Minister Thongloun Sisoulith, Deputy Prime Minister Sonexay Siphandone, and Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism, Prof Dr Bosengkham Vongdara joined the audience at the official celebration ceremony held yesterday evening at the National Culture Hall.
In his address at the ceremony, Dr Bosengkham told participants that the recognition of the Khaen music of the Lao people as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco) was very meaningful for the nation.
“The Khaen music has been valuable heritage of the Lao people since ancient times. The Khaen music has imbued the lives of Lao people in all parts and provinces across the country,” he said.
The co-existence between the lifestyle of the Lao people and Khaen music has been described through a saying that goes ‘Wherever there is a Khaen music, there are Lao people there’, the minister said.
There is also a saying that goes ‘Whoever lives in a stilted house, eating sticky rice and playing the Khaen music are Lao people’, Dr Bosengkham added.
The Party and government have a policy in place to preserve and promote the musical culture of the nation, he said.
Khaen musicians from provinces across the country were invited to perform through several different shows to the admiration of the audience at the National Culture Hall.
The shows also featured Khaen music performances by foreign artists.
Earlier yesterday morning, a grand parade was organised to mark the recognition of Khaen music as humanity’s heritage.
Some 20 decorated trucks, buses and minibuses carrying at least 344 officials, musicians, performers, acrobats and invited guests joined the parade, which started at the Chao Fa Ngum Monument proceeding on main roads in the capital.
They were from 10 organisations, including the National Art School, National Performing Art Troupe, as well as musicians from the provinces.
Paying tribute to King Chao Fa Ngum, who united the Lao Lanxang Kingdom (current Lao PDR), Director General of the Heritage Department, Thongbai Phothisanere, representing those assembled, expressed pride over the recognition of Khaen music.
“On this auspicious occasion here at the sacred monument, we promise to you His Royal Highness, and other Lao ancestors that we will preserve and promote Lao Khaen Music –Laos’ and the world’s heritage,” the director said.
The parade carrying the certificate of recognition by Unesco and huge Khaen musical instruments moved along Souphanouvong Avenue to Setthathirath Road, Lane Xang Avenue, and 23 Singha Road. Khaen music, puppet and other art performances were presented during the parade.
The procession stopped at the Unknown Soldier Monument near That Luang Grand Stupa to salute past warriors and the Lao multiethnic people who sacrificed their lives for the nation.
The parade proceeded on to Kaysone Phomvihane Avenue and the President Kaysone Phomvihane Museum to pay tribute to the late President - one of the founding members of the Lao PDR.
Lao people and musicians said they were proud to have learnt that Khaen music was inscribed as humanity’s heritage by Unesco.
“I am very happy to know that Lao Khaen music was certified as world heritage,” said a Khaen musician from southern Attapeu province, Mr Saikham Sayasim.
In his late fifties, Mr Saikham, who was one of Khaen musicians from the province selected to join yesterday’s celebration, said he fell in love with Khaen music and has played it since he was 16.
“I want younger generations to play and preserve Khaen music,” he said.
Khaen music has been played with a number of folk songs from many parts of the country. These include Khubxamneau (Xam Neau folk song) sung by people in Xamneau district of northern Huaphan province, Khub Phuan folk song sung by people in northern Xieng Khuang province, Khub Ngum of Vientiane province, Lam Sa La Vanh of southern Saravan province and Lam Siphan Don of southern Champassak province.
The recognition of Khaen music was made at the twelfth session of the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage which took place in Jeju Island, Republic of Korea, from December 4-9, 2017.
Following the recognition, Unesco presented the certificate of the Khaen music of the Lao people as an ‘Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity’ to the Lao government last month.

Lao NEWS on LNTV: A monument to Mr Sisomphone Lorvanxay erected in Borikhamxay.2/11/2015
VO A monument to Mr Sisomphone Lorvanxay erected in Borikhamxay
INTRO: A monument to Mr Sisomphone Lorvanxay, one of the first generation of Lao revolutionary leaders, was officially dedicated at a park named after him in his home province of Borikhamxay.
STORY: Prime Minister Thongsing Thammavong, Politburo members of the Party Central Committee and provincial authorities on Friday attended a ceremony to mark the monument's installation in the provincial capital Pakxan.
The event included a religious ceremony in which Prime Minister Thongsing led central and provincial government leaders and local residents in lighting candles and incense sticks as a mark of respect for the three gems of Buddhism – the Buddha, his teaching and the Buddhist clergy.
The following morning, Prime Minister Thongsing, officials and residents took part in an almsgiving ceremony in memory of those who lost their lives in the revolutionary struggle.
Mr Sisomphone Lorvanxay was one of seven influential revolutionary leaders. Also spearheading the movement were President Kaysone Phomvihane, President Souphanouvong, former President Nouhak Phoumsavanh, former Acting President Phoumy Vongvichit and Mr Phoun Sipaseuth, now all deceased. Also joining them on the front lines was former President Khamtay Siphandone, who now lives in Vientiane.
Mr Sisomphone died in February 1993 at the age of 77.
In recognition of his virtues and devotion to the revolutionary cause, along with his contribution to strengthening friendship among nations and social progress, the Party and government awarded him the highest national order - the Order of Victory, Class 1.
He was also awarded anti-French and anti-American medals, the National Order and Medal, and honoured with orders and medals from friendly countries.
Merit-making ceremony held for revolutionary leaders
Vientiane Times
In a stirring act of patriotism, the remains of the country's first generation of revolutionary leaders were taken from their various resting places and placed at the Kaysone Phomvihane Museum in Vientiane on Friday, accompanied by a traditional Buddhist ceremony.
Thousands of people including high-ranking Party and government officials gathered at the museum for the merit-making ceremony following the arrival of the leaders' remains.
Party Secretary General and President of Laos Choummaly Sayasone and other Politburo members were among those present.
The remains included those of the late President Kaysone Phomvihane, former President Nouhak Phoumsavanh, President Souphanouvong, Mr Phoumy Vongvichit, Mr Phoun Sipaseuth and Mr Sisomphone Lorvanxay.
The remains of a later generation of leaders included Mr Saly Vongkhamxao, Mr Maychantan Sengmany, Mr Oudom Khattiya, Mr Somlath Chanthamath, Mr Osakan Thammatheva, Mr Khambou Sounixay, Mr Sompheth Thipmala, and Mr Vaenthong Luangvilay.
The ceremony, which was led by 120 monks, gave devotees the opportunity to make merit and show their respect for these leaders, whose great contributions and sacrifices ultimately led to national liberation in 1975.
Among those attending the ceremony was Mr Khammeung Boulaphone of Luang Namtha province. He said he was proud of the contributions and efforts of these leaders, who inspired solidarity among all Lao people in joining the fight against powerful colonialists.
Despite difficulties, our leaders were determined not to surrender to the colonialists. If they hadn't been there for us then, we may not have what we do today, he said.
Monk Sithon Xayavongsone of the Buddhist Organisation for Development said There are three things in particular that make me proud of our revolutionary leaders. These include their sacrifice and devotion, their honesty, and their strength of heart . Today's young people should learn from them, so they can accelerate the nation's development efforts.
Today, an almsgiving ceremony will take place at the museum in the morning, with 120 monks again in attendance. This will be followed by the removal of the leaders' remains to the National Cemetery in the afternoon.
At the cemetery, there will be a mass mourning of the leaders, whose remains will be placed in stupas.
The reinterment is part of activities to mark the 57th anniversary of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party.
The relocation assembles the remains of the revolutionary leaders in one place to make it easier for the younger generations to pay tribute and recall their good deeds.
The placement of their remains in the National Cemetery serves to express gratitude to those leaders who devoted their lives to the fight for liberation, as well as encouraging a spirit of patriotism and solidarity among young people.
Since the Party Central Committee issued a notice concerning the reinterment last week, various government bodies in Vientiane and the provinces have delivered lectures on the virtuous deeds of the leaders.
The lectures ensured that officials fully understood the good deeds of the leaders and their sacrifices in fighting powerful colonialists, in their bid to bring independence, freedom and prosperity to all Lao people.
By being fully informed about the good deeds and shining example set by the revolutionary leaders, government officials can absorb these and apply them to their work and personal life.
Car rally begins journey to former revolutionary stronghold
More than 500 hundred people representing government offices and businesses left Vientiane yesterday on a five-day trip to Viengxay district, Huaphan province.
They are making the journey in convoy from December 11-15 under a progamme titled “Return to the Birthplace - Glorification to the Revolution of Laos”.
They were waved off early yesterday morning at That Luang by Deputy Prime Minister Bounpon Bouttanavong and other invited guests.
Speaking on the occasion, Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism, Prof. Dr Bosengkham Vongdara, said the main objective of the trip was to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Lao People's Democratic Republic on December 2 and the 95th birthday of President Kaysone Phomvihane on December 13. It would also promote tourism in northern Laos.
The travellers will journey a distance of about 670 km, passing through Borikhamxay, Xieng Khuang and Huaphan provinces. They will have the opportunity to see some fascinating and important historical sites that played a major role in the country's struggle for liberation in years gone by.
The caravan will visit the Kaysone Phomvihane Memorial Cave and the caves inhabited by government leaders. They will then attend a photo exhibition at Xang-Lot Cave in Viengxay district before moving on to Xamneua district on the evening of December 13 to enjoy a traditional arts show by local groups.
In Xieng Khuang province, the convoy will relive the wartime period and visit former battlefields including Vat Phiavat, Vat That Foun, the Plain of Jars, the escape route of the 2nd battalion, Phou Keng stone jar quarry and Piew Cave as well as other places of interest before returning to Vientiane.
The organising committee has made the necessary preparations to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all participants, especially with a view to preventing accidents, protecting the environment and complying with regulations.
Lao NEWS on LNTV: Vietnamese ambassador gives reception celebrating Tet.9/2/2015
VO Vietnamese ambassador gives reception-celebrating Tet, the Year of the Goat
INTRO: The Vietnamese ambassador to Laos hosted a reception to celebrate Tet or Vietnamese New Year in Vientiane capital. Vietnamese Ambassador to Laos, Dr Nguyen Manh Hung said, Lao and Vietnamese leaders are proud of the traditional friendship, special solidarity and loyalty between their two parties, states and people.
STORY: Vietnamese ambassador to Laos, Nguyen Manh Hung hosted the Lunar New Year reception celebrating Tết, which is the Vietnamese New Year The event attended by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Dr Thongloun Sisoulith, and high-ranking officials from Lao government, representatives from embassies, and international organizations
According to the Vietnamese ambassador to Laos, Thursday, Feb 19, 2015, begins the Year of the Goat. Tết is the Vietnamese New Year, celebrated on the first day of the first month on the lunar calendar, usually between January 19 and February 20. It symbolizes new beginnings, with various rituals added by different religions.
It is said that, Tet is the festival, which epitomizes the identity of Vietnamese culture. Although the Lunar New Year is observed in all of East Asia influenced by Chinese civilization, each country celebrates it in a way peculiar to that country by making it conform to its psyche and historico-geographical conditions.
The ambassador also praised the relationship between the two countries established by Presidents Ho Chi Minh, Kaysone Phomvihane, and Souphanouvong.

Lao NEWS on LNTV: President issues a decree to promulgate the Constitution.17/12/2015
VO President Choummaly Sayasone issues a decree to promulgate the Constitution of the Lao PDR
INTRO: President Choummaly Sayasone on Tuesday issued a decree to promulgate the Constitution of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic following the approval of its amendments by the National Assembly at its 10th Ordinary Session earlier this month.
STORY: The promulgation of the national constitution is in accordance with section 1 in Article 67 of the national constitution (2003 amended version), the resolution of the 10th Ordinary Session of the National Assembly No 012/NA dated 8 Dec 2015, and the proposal letter of the National Assembly’s Standing Committee No 028/STC dated 8 Dec 2015
National Assembly (NA) members on Tuesday the 8th of December approved a second amendment to the constitution in response to changing needs in the current era of development.
The constitution serves as the foundation for the enactment of the country's laws and the changes aim to better manage state and socio-economic development as Laos enters an era of growing economic competition.
The constitution stipulates that Laos is a democratic state with all powers belonging to the people, by the people and in the interests of the people.
It also stipulates the roles of three state powers with the NA ranked as the highest state power in Laos. The NA plays a significant role in approving the country's leaders and laws as well as making decisions on all fundamental issues. The other two state powers are the executive and judicial bodies.
Many aspects of the 2003 edition of the constitution have been revised and NA members say the amendments reflect the reality of Laos' changing circumstances.
The roles of the NA, the president of Laos and the prime minister are now more clearly defined. Under the amended constitution, the president can hold office for not more than two consecutive terms.
Under the amended constitution, provincial people's assemblies will be established to consider and approve major issues in these localities as well as oversee the performance of local authorities.
Provincial people's assemblies will also approve local socio-economic development and budget plans as well as the appointment and removal of provincial governors based on recommendations put forward by the assemblies' standing committees.
The amendment of the constitution aims to respond to the Party's renovation policies and the country's development vision until 2030. It also reflects the aspirations of the multi-ethnic Lao people to further develop the country and rise above Least Developed Country status by 2020.
The amendment takes place as Laos is preparing to join the Asean Economic Community at the end of this month.
The original Lao constitution was approved by the NA in 1991. It was promulgated on August 15, 1991 – 16 years after the Lao People's Democratic Republic was proclaimed on December 2, 1975.
This is the second amendment to the constitution after its first amendment and promulgation in 2003.
The committee for amending the constitution is revising the document based on the comments and opinions of NA members.
