16/06/16 This was my last day in Laos and what better way to spend it by being poolside and sunbathing. I had a flight to catch at 5pm so spent the morning catching the sun, and then got myself a final two Oreo shakes and a baguette. I also sent some postcards, and found some … Continue reading Laos – Luang Prabang, airport

Laos – Muang Ngoi to Luang Prabang, Wat Thien Thong Temple
15/06/16 To get back to Luang Prabang I had to first book my ticket to Nong Khiaw at 8.30am at the the boat ticket office. The office was just an open room and one guy with some tickets, it cost 25,000k to get the boat back. At 9.30am the boat left, so I had some … Continue reading Laos – Muang Ngoi to Luang Prabang, Wat Thien Thong Temple
Laos – Luang Prabang, Kuang Si Waterfall hike
07/06/16 Today was going to be a chilled day but after posting a blanket I'd bought back home for £40(!) we decided to go back to the waterfalls to do another hike to the source. Luckily we found a large group of people who were heading there in a minivan so we jumped in with … Continue reading Laos – Luang Prabang, Kuang Si Waterfall hike

Laos – Luang Prabang, Royal Palace, Phou Si Mountain
04/06/16 I had a relatively easy day today, it was still raining so I didn't want to be walking around too much. Just opposite our hostel was a folk museum which had interesting information about the Khmer and Hmong village people, more so about their traditional clothing but also a little about their handicraft. I … Continue reading Laos – Luang Prabang, Royal Palace, Phou Si Mountain
Laos – Luang Prabang, Kuang Si Waterfall
03/06/16 I had to check out of my guest house and move to Kounsavan hostel. I was happy to move as it meant there would be a better atmosphere and potentially more help when booking things. Turns out the staff at the hostel are just as unfriendly and unhelpful as the guesthouse. We were able … Continue reading Laos – Luang Prabang, Kuang Si Waterfall
