The driver sped past the Nam Khan River, made some twists and turns and stopped right in front of Tamnak Lao Restaurant.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/things-to-do\/small-group-laos-cooking-class-at-tamnak-lao-restaurant-cooking-school.a234239.activity-details\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tamnak Lao<\/a> <\/strong>serves a whole list of local food \u2014 it was difficult for us to choose what to order. We went with the locals&#8217; recommendation of Khao Niew, brown sticky rice served in a bamboo basket paired with a rich pot of Or Lam, a veggie casserole of eggplants, onions, green beans, dill and rare jungle herbs. We wiped the bowl clean within minutes!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-30612 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Tamnak-Lao-Restaurant.jpg\" alt=\"Tamnak Lao Restaurant in Luang Prabang\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-30613 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Tamnak-Lao-food.jpg\" alt=\"Dishes from Tamnak Lao Restaurant in Luang Prabang\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>2) Day 1, Evening: Go on a River Cruise Along the Mighty Mekong River<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>After lunch, we checked-in at Villa Chitdara, a homey guesthouse run by a local Lao-French family. We loved this hotel for its strategic location right smack in the middle of Luang Prabang. Most tourist attractions are only a 10-minute walk away.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-30614 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Villa-Chitdara.jpg\" alt=\"Interior of Villa Chitdara in Luang Prabang\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-30615 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Villa-Chitdara-2.jpg\" alt=\"Exterior of Villa Chitdara in Luang Prabang\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Later in the evening, we walked towards the Mekong riverfront and hopped on the Sa Sa Sunset Cruise. The 30-metre long-tail boat departed at 5 pm, meandering its way so we could watch the \u201cbusy\u201d Luang Prabang on one side and the rolling hills on the other.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-30616 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Mekong-River.jpeg\" alt=\"The Mekong riverfront\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With chill-out music playing in the background, we sipped our fresh juices while witnessing the sun slowly slipping away behind the hills, over the horizon. On our way back, we were just in awe listening to the sounds of the jungle reaching a crescendo as darkness crept into the sky.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-30617 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Mekong-River-sunset.jpg\" alt=\"Sunset on the Mekong riverfront\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>3) Day 2 \u2013 Morning: Visit the Golden Temple of <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The wonderful buffet breakfast at Villa Chitdara got us prepared to start the day. The next thing in our agenda was an exploration of Wat Xieng Thong, a 500-year old Buddhist temple at the tip of the peninsula by the confluence of the Nam Khan and Mekong rivers.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-30618 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Wat-Xieng-Thong.jpg\" alt=\"Wat Xieng Thong Buddhist temple\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The temple complex was adorned with gilded wooden doors portraying parts of Buddha\u2019s life, just like in the golden outer walls of the main wat. Another sight to behold was the 12-metre-high funeral carriage with the head of five nagas, carrying urns of the royal family.<\/p>\n<p>I was particularly impressed by a wall at the back of the main temple, which was splashed with thousands of colourful mosaics depicting the Tree of Life. A building behind the temple also carried a mosaic-full depiction of what the daily routines were like in the former kingdom.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-30620 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Wat-Xieng-Thong-wall.jpg\" alt=\"A mosaic at Wat Xieng Thong temple\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>4) Day 2 \u2013 Afternoon: <\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Savour Laos\u2019 Vegetarian-Friendly Dishes at Tamarind<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We were really impressed with yesterday\u2019s Or Lam and decided to seek out more green dishes. Our hotel receptionist recommended <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tamarindlaos.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Tamarind Restaurant<\/a>, which was on the quieter side of town.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-30621 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Tamarind-Restaurant.jpg\" alt=\"Tamarind Restaurant in Luang Prabang\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The best part about Tamarind Restaurant is probably the wide selections of food platters, to which we ordered the \u201cTrio of Salad\u201d of Tofu Laap, Tam Mak Hoong and Soop Pak.<\/p>\n<p>All three salads carry a burst of flavour and texture from the crunchiness of the nuts and green papaya to the refreshing taste of jungle leaves and herbs indigenous to the Laotian. The greens were so tasty we nearly finished them before our rice even arrived!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-30622 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Tamarind-Restaurant-food.jpg\" alt=\"Dishes from Tamarind Restaurant in Luang Prabang\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>5) Day 2, Evening: Gaze at the King\u2019s Collection at the Impressive Royal Palace<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Once everyone was full, we flagged down a tuk-tuk to take us across town to the Royal Palace. Now a museum, the palace was once the resplendent residence of former King Sisavang Vong.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-30623 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Royal-Palace-luang-prabang.jpg\" alt=\"Royal Palace in Luang Prabang\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Royal Palace is set in a lush garden of tropical trees with the equally impressive Haw Pha Bang Temple on one side and a statue of King Sisavang Vong holding the constitution on the other. The palace itself has a mix of French beaux art and Lao motifs flair to it.<\/p>\n<p>Photography is not allowed in the palace, so we had to make do with just walking through the royal household\u2019s collection. We expected ornate furniture, but we were quite surprised to see the rooms and halls tastefully arranged with simple yet elegant d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-30624 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Royal-Palace-laos.jpg\" alt=\"Haw Pha Bang Temple at The Royal Palace\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>6) Day 2 \u2013 Evening: Hike Mount Phousi to Catch the Sunset from Above<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Right across the Royal Palace is a set of stairs and switchbacks that takes us up to Mount Phousi, a 150-metre-high hill with sweeping views of Luang Prabang and its surroundings. Sunset was within an hour, so we started our hike early to grab a good spot.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-30625 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Mount-Phousi.jpg\" alt=\"Steps to Mount Phousi\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We were clearly unfit to conquer this hill as throngs of visitors whizzed past us. By the time we reached the top, it was already crowded. The half-hour trek was not in vain though for we were able to witness the amazing sunset over the Mekong River from a totally different point of view.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-30626 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Mount-Phousi-sunset.jpg\" alt=\"Sunset over the Mekong River\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>7) Day 2 \u2013 Night: Spend, Spend, Spend at Luang Prabang Night Market<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Once night has fallen upon the valley, we went down the same way to check out the night market. Held daily on the stretch of road in front of the Royal Palace, the market offers anything from food to handicraft. Browsing through the market makes it difficult for us because we just couldn\u2019t leave one stall without buying something!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-30627 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Luang-Prabang-Night-Market.jpg\" alt=\"Luang Prabang night market\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-30628 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Luang-Prabang-souvenirs.jpg\" alt=\"Stalls at the Luang Prabang night market\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There were hundreds of stalls selling all kinds of handmade handicrafts, clothes and knick-knacks sourced locally. We bought a bundle of elephant-themed shirts for the whole family, a paper-m\u00e2ch\u00e9 night lamp, floral pillow covers and cute little elephant slip-on. We would have snatched more items if not for the baggage limit we had!<\/p>\n<p>If there\u2019s ever one ultimate reason for me to return to Luang Prabang, it has to be the night market!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>8) Day 3, Morning: Dip Your Body at Refreshing Kuang Si Waterfalls<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The first half of our third day was spent at Kuang Si Waterfalls, an impressive Luang Prabang waterfall with three cascading tiers and wading pools. It was about a one-hour drive away from our hotel, passing by villages and the countryside.<\/p>\n<p>From the entrance, we walked down a well-trodden path running alongside the river. We were amazed at the turquoise blue water in the pool \u2014 we can even see tiny fishes swimming around.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-30629 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Kuang-Si-Waterfalls.jpg\" alt=\"Kuang Si Waterfalls\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It was the cold season so the water was too frigid for a swim, but since we had come all the way here, we didn&#8217;t want to make this a complete waste. We waded in a shallow pool, using our toes to play with the curious fishes. Before the Luang Prabang weather became too hot, we continued our trek to the massive waterfall \u2013 the 50-metre drop was so loud that it was near impossible to talk to each other!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-30630 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Kuang-Si-Waterfalls-selfie.jpg\" alt=\"Selfie in front of Kuang Si Waterfalls\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>9) Day 3 \u2013 Afternoon: Learn about the <\/strong><strong>Lovable<\/strong><strong> Buffalo at Laos Buffalo Dairy<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>On our way back to Luang Prabang, we stopped by a cute purple roadside stall selling buffalo milk ice-cream! As we were eating our scoops of happiness, we learned that the ice-creams were produced by the Laos Buffalo Dairy.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-30631 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Laos-Buffalo-Dairy.jpg\" alt=\"Laos Buffalo Dairy ice cream\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-30632 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Laos-Buffalo-Dairy-2.jpg\" alt=\"Tour of Laos Buffalo Dairy farm\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We decided to go on a free tour of the farm to learn about this social enterprise. They rent around 200 buffaloes from local farmers and milk them for dairy products. The buffaloes are then returned after 6 months to let them get ready to bear calves.<\/p>\n<p>We were brought to the buffaloes\u2019 barn where they are treated like VVIP \u2014 that includes their very own pool for them to cool off. Our little one also got the opportunity to feed the calves with their mommies\u2019 milk!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>10) Day 3, Evening: Sample the Best French Pastries at Le Banneton<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>One of the colonial French legacies was the art of making bread and pastries, and Luang Prabang has by far the best bakeries in the whole of <a href=\"https:\/\/travelblog.expedia.com.sg\/travel-tips-inspiration\/best-time\/southeast-asia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Southeast Asia<\/a>. We went straight to Le Banneton, a rustic bakery with wooden countertops and white-washed walls.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-30633 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Le-Banneton.jpg\" alt=\"Pastries at Le Banneton bakery\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Although served at room temperature, Le Banneton\u2019s croissants had no problem melting in our mouth.
