Travelogues Luang Prabang

Warm welcome! As Thomas noted: how long has it been since we walked across the tarmac upon exiting an airplane – in this case, a propeller plane? Luang Prabang International...

After the exciting days in Ayutthaya and Lopburi, I flew back to Laos in mid-February 2026 - for dolce far niente and to conserve my travel budget.

In March 2025, I was in Luang Prabang for the third time, the old Laotian royal city. It is one of my favorite places, but gradually the mass of tourists is getting out of hand.

It was strange to leave Vietnam, but knowing that the journey simply continues elsewhere. I felt a bit melancholic, but somehow it was also okay. For the first time, I needed a...

We rent a scooter in Luang Prabang again and take a trip to the Kuang Si Waterfalls, which are 30 kilometers away. The road is in terrible condition. I miss a lot of the scenery...
