Getting There

  • Tuk-Tuk

    From Luang Prabang city center, the most common way to reach Lao Spirit Resort is by tuk-tuk. Negotiate the fare beforehand, with a typical price ranging from 80,000 to 120,000 LAK depending on your bargaining skills and the time of day. The journey takes approximately 20-30 minutes, heading east along the main road and then following signs for Ban Xieng Lom. Be prepared for a bumpy ride as you leave the paved roads behind.

  • Taxi

    A taxi from Luang Prabang International Airport or the city center offers a more comfortable but pricier alternative. Expect to pay around 150,000 to 200,000 LAK for the trip. Like tuk-tuks, agree on the fare before setting off. The route is the same as for tuk-tuks, taking you through the scenic countryside towards Ban Xieng Lom.
