Luang Prabang

Luang Prabang is Laos's Unecso superstar city situated at the meeting of the Nam Khan and the Mekong River. I fell in love with this city for its glimmering Buddhist temples, river views, top-notch Gallic cuisine, and French colonial-era buildings.

After spending a full day walking the sights, a hike to the highest point for the sunset was the perfect end to a sweltering day.

The following day I took it a little easier with a fantastic full-day cooking class with the Tamarind Restaraunt and Cooking School. The menu included Lao favorites such as beef laap, fish steamed in banana leaves, chicken stuffed lemongrass, and purple sticky rice.

Luang Prabang is definitely one of my favorite cities so far in Southeast Asia! 

Time to leave Laos and SEA and headed to Sri Lanka for a week...
