Prowincja Luang Prabang

Editor's Choice

Luang Prabang’s landscape is defined by the multi-tiered turquoise pools of Kuang Si Falls and its adjacent Asiatic black bear sanctuary. In the heart of the old town, Mount Phousi provides panoramic views, while the Royal Palace grounds house the 20th-century Haw Pha Bang temple. Cultural landmarks extend to the Pak Ou Caves, containing thousands of Buddha images along the Mekong River, and the golden-spired Wat Pa Phon Phao, a forest temple known for its peaceful hilltop setting.
