Very Opinionated Guide on Beating the Travel Tipping Point to Luang Prabang (with these expert tips)
This guide includes where to eat and drink, where to stay, what to do, and where to work remotely in Luang Prabang, Laos — a sublime little city on the confluence of the mighty Mekong and Nam Khan rivers. Luang Prabang is a must-visit in your explorations of Southeast Asia. Orange robe-clad monks stroll the streets lined with historic French architecture. Welcome smiles, delicious cuisine, and ancient wats all await you at this UNESCO world heritage destination. With thoughtful new investment from savvy local business owners and French and Swiss expats who were stuck here (and fell in love) during Covid, the town is at a perfect inflection point of old and new. You can sit down to a bowl of soup on the sidewalk, dine at a 5-star hotel, and sip an IPA at a trendy cafe — all within a few blocks of each other. But hurry, Luang Prabang is not too far from the visitor tipping point.

Luang Prabang is a city in northern Laos that is known for its stunning temples, French colonial architecture, and laid-back atmosphere. It is a popular tourist destination, and for good reason. The city is full of things to see and do, from visiting temples and monasteries to exploring the city's many shops and restaurants.
One of the best things about Luang Prabang is its temples. There are over 30 temples in the city, and each one is unique. Some of the most popular temples include Wat Xieng Thong, Wat Phou Si, and Wat Mai.
Luang Prabang is also home to a number of French colonial buildings. These buildings date back to the time when Laos was a French colony. Some of the most notable French colonial buildings include the Royal Palace Museum, the Governor's Palace, and the Catholic Cathedral.
In addition to its temples and colonial buildings, Luang Prabang is also known for its laid-back atmosphere. The city is a great place to relax and soak up the local culture. There are plenty of cafes and restaurants where you can enjoy a cup of coffee or a meal. You can also take a cooking class, go on a hike, or visit one of the many waterfalls in the area.
No matter what you're interested in, Luang Prabang is a great place to visit. It is a city that has something to offer everyone.

On the list of hidden gems, Luang Prabang must be at the top. After a 2-day journey on the slow boat from the Thai border, I was blown away by the peaceful, wholesome city. I didn't expect much of the place, other than it being the base from where I'd visit the impressive Kuang Si Waterfall. I was blown away and brought to actual tears after discovering many social initiatives and witnessing authentic local interactions in what would become one of my favorite cities in the world. As an expert in community based, sustainable travel, I fell in love with Luang Prabang.

This is a map of all the places I went to on my 3 month backpacking trip.
We flew into Bangkok then island hopped in south Thailand for 2 weeks before flying up to Chiang Mai to explore north Thailand for 2 weeks. Next stop was northern Laos for just over 2 weeks where we got the slow boat from Thailand to Luang Prabang. After Laos was an overnight bus to Hanoi in northern Vietnam where we worked our way down to the south over 3 weeks. Finally finishing in Cambodia for 3 weeks and then bus back to Bangkok to fly home.
This map includes recommendations of things to do, places to stay and restaurant recommendations too.
I have added in information about the visas, currency, how to get around and important tips and tricks we learnt along the way.
You can fit in a lot less than you think when backpacking so this is a realistic map of what is achievable in 3 months.
