Walking Tours in Luang Prabang

Luang Prabang Essentials Food Tour

Awesome food tour and getting to know the Laotian culture

So back in Germany and autumn weather for starters…. 😔 . Today, I am first remembering the food tour with Latda. 😍. She is super competent and you can really tell that she loves showing people her hometown. The food was simply incredible. We had so many different dishes and each one of them was uniquely good. The portions were generous, I didn't have to suffer from hunger 🤣. Latda took us to hidden locations that I would never have found on my own and showed us food that I would never have ordered on my own. In addition, she told cool stories about Laotian food culture, which made the whole thing even more special. If you are in Luang Prabang and love food, you absolutely have to do this tour. Absolutely recommended!

Children can't play with bamboo dragonflies, and the lack of toys hurts me. There are still remedial activities during the school summer holidays, which cost about 50,000 Kip (about RMB15) per month. The conditions are simple, but the children are warm and innocent. 🛕 Shanman Temple Wat Xiengman Saiyaseth Aram Built around 1560 by King Setthathirat of Laos, it is one of the most important monasteries in Shanman village.
