This is my favorite little town on planet earth. It is a UNESCO world heritage site which means it is one of the few places where if you had a time machine, things would look pretty much the same. I’m the type of guy who will sleep all day with the air conditioning on avoiding the heat, then start my day about 5pm when it’s cool out and then hangout all night. I guess you could say I’m still a teenager 26 years in. (I’m 39.)
Two years ago my 17 year old daughter was complaining and said, “My teenage life is over!”
“Give me a break, I’m 37 and my teenage life is still going strong, get out of here with that.” I told her.
Well anyways I don’t have the best camera on this iPad Pro original, so I had to go and take these pictures at around noon for the best lighting, so I got quite sweaty for these pics, but they were worth it.
Sakkaline Road:
This is the main street through town and where the night market is after 5pm.
Here is the view from the garden by the rivers.
This is the tip of the main street. It is where the Namkhan and Mekong rivers meet. The garden is beautiful all year round.
This bamboo bridge which is still under construction looked sketchy and dangerous, so I had to check it out.
Here is a cool park at the beginning of the road.
These hanging flowers are really pretty. Do you know what they’re called?
Here’s a map of town.
Luang Prabang has lot’s of handmade stuff like this every where.
This lady with the long hair is a local legend. She’s a friendly ghost.
Traditional Lao art
I’ve never seen a car like this. Do you know what it is?
Here are the tombs of some rich and or important people at this temple. Their pictures have almost faded away to white.
Luang Prabang just had their light festival where they make thousands of these paper floating art and the river lights up just like it did hundreds of years ago.
I told you it was a hot day. Here is some sticky rice roasting in the sun for tonight’s night market.
Here’s the Lady of Luang Prabang again. May she bring us good luck!
Luang Prabang National Museum:
This was once the King’s home. I’ll make a post about this soon. I was planning on doing a post about it today, but it was closed, so next time. You may think I’m crazy, but I remember some of my past lives and I remember this place well.
Post Office
If you do come here, these ATMs by the post office are the most reliable ones for western cards.
A lot of people can still speak French here because it was once a colony.
Sorry, no Fedex.
Thank you for walking through the main street of Luang Prabang with me today. I hope you visit one day. If you want to meet me just ask for Jay. I speak Lao and have a terrible reputation so they’ll know who you’re talking about. Sabaidee!
