If you’re looking for a little slice of wild Laos, it’s not far away. Just take the 2-minute ferry across the Mekong from the docks in downtown.
Make sure to wander around the streets and explore the old town, a historical preservation zone declared by UNESCO. The strict building code, drawn up by UNESCO, keeps it from becoming another modern architectural nightmare without turning it into a museum.
Spend half a day taking a walking tour of the town to find hidden treasures or get a massage after your long journey.
A perfect day in Luang Prabang consists of: grabbing a cup of coffee at Saffron Café, checking out the monk offerings in the morning, the Royal Museum by day, catching the sunset on the mountaintop and finishing the day at the night market.
Other cool things to do in Luang Prabang:
Climb Mount Phousi before the sun comes up, take some coffee and wait for an incredible sunrise over the Ancient Kingdom… there is not much of a better way to start your day!
Wat Xieng Thong is a temple not to be scored off on your backpacking Laos adventure. If you don’t see any temple in Laos or Asia for that matter, check this one out. Otherwise known as the Golden City Monastery built in 1560 by King Setthathilat this temple is a complete work of art. Even if you don’t go inside, wandering the temple grounds early in the morning before the rush of tourists is awesome.
Luang Prabang Nam Tha, often a starting point for those Backpacking Laos and hoping to enter into the Northern Hilltribes. Although the town itself offers no more than a rural village with a few guesthouses, those seeking off the beaten track adventures will make it here. As well as hiking into the Northern Hilltribes, mountain biking is popular among backpackers travelling Laos. You’ll often get a map of the area and neighbouring towns when you hire a bike, so go off and explore!
Utopia Yoga classes for 40,000 kips.
Tamarind Restaurant offers Laos cooking classes.
Golden City Temple (Wat Xieng Thong)
Vegetarian Buffet – Night Market (vegetarian)
20,000kip
You will find this amazing place in the “food street” of the night market, which is down a small side street. Usually a bunch of ladies are at the beginning of that road selling cut fruit (10 000 for approx 500g, very good value for money). For 20,000kip you can fill a whole plate/bowl with whatever you want. They have around 30 different dishes to try from, surely there is something you will like! I would recommend the curries and veggie mixes. Their fried veggies are made with sweetened dough (which I personally found gross) and their fried noodles/rice are tasty, but quite oily.

The Pha Tok Caves are set high in a limestone cliff accessed via steep concrete steps. You’ll have to pay a small amount to enter the caves and you should take a headtorch.

I would like to recommend the Sopchem Guesthouse. It is 40 min up the river by boat from Muang Ngoi in the so called weaving village. It is a small village with 180 people living there. The scenery is absolutely stunning. You can go swimming in the river, learn from the weaving ladies how they make scarfs and if you tell it in advance a jungle trek can be organised. There is also a viewpoint and another village you can reach by foot. There are no restaurants, the guesthouse will cook for you.
The rooms are simple but clean with flush toilet, shower and electricity. No internet in the village.
You can make bookings via phone call /sms +856 30 55 24 788 or whatsapp +856 20 99 755 308 (reply will take a few days)
I post this because I loved the place so much and want to support them
Edit: I paid 200.000 kip per night for the bungalow. Prices for other rooms might differ.

Vang Vieng, Laos
Explore caves, kayak rivers, enjoy nature, and experience local culture
Pha Ngern ali Nam Xay Viewpoint
A little north of Vang Vieng, you can go on kayaking and cave tubing trips in the Tham Xang and Tham Nam caves, which is a really fun activity.
Another top attraction in Vang Vieng is Jang Cave, which is also easily accessed from town – you can walk there in about twenty minutes.
If taking a hot air balloon ride has always been on your bucket list (or even if it hasn’t), the price and the landscape make Vang Vieng a great place for it. And a once-in-a-lifetime experience is well worth the early alarm.
Daily alms-giving ceremony, or tak bat. During the pre-dawn ceremony, monks walk silently through town collecting offerings, mainly of money and rice, from Buddhist residents. To try to catch a glimpse of the ceremony, stand near Wat That on the north end of town before sunrise.
Cycling through the countryside is another popular activity in Vang Vieng
Blue Lagoon 1 is probably the area’s most-visited attraction. A large swimming hole filled with bright blue water, beneath rope swings and zip lines, and surrounded by green space, it checks a lot of boxes. While it would otherwise be an idyllic setting, the lagoon gets absolutely packed with visitors, but early birds will have the place to themselves.
(There are three blue lagoons near town, but #2 and #3 can require riding over horrible, rocky roads. #1 is much easier to access and is by far the most popular.)
You can also browse the town’s main market, about two kilometers north of town, at any time of day, though it tends to be a little livelier in the morning.

Don Det, Laos
Si Phan Don (4000 islands)
Base yourself in the small island of Don Khong.
Take a boat tour on the river and visit the villages and inhabitants on the islands and experience traditional Laos culture. Thanks to the isolation the river brings these villages, they are relatively untouched by modern influence. Learn the culture and how involved these communities are with ecological awareness and conservation; if you’re lucky, maybe you’ll spot the rare freshwater Dolphin!
A visit to the 4000 islands is not complete without stopping at Asia’s highest waterfall – the Khon Phapheng and Somphamit Waterfalls – otherwise known as Li Phi Falls. They are breathtaking.
Don Khon you’ll find the ghostly remains of an incomplete railroad. China abandoned the build once the discovery of the falls was made in the nineteenth century; it created a bit of a natural barrier.
