We regret doing so when we discovered the food alley :/
I paid 60000kip instead of 10000kip. Oh well :)
Day after I barely made it through one temple and I went back to Spicy Laos because something felt off. Caught the travel bug and was in bed the entire day, but probably lost some weight I gained :D
Luang Prabang is a sleepy little picturesque town catering to tourism.
I didn't really think the food was especially authentic. It was sandwiches or western food for breskfast if you didn't feel like combing Luang Prabang for less western food stands.
I did manage to have a chicken laap along the Mekong Delta which is probably the only proper Lao food I had.
Kudos to the Lao coffee though!
The nature around here is amazing so if Luang Prabang is too touristy you can always take a slow boat to remote villages or head south on the Mekong to 4000 islands and other gems like Khoun Xe cave. The landscapes are beautiful especially heading to Vang Vieng (next post :)
Definitely check out Utopia Bar, Icon bar and The Hive if you can (close 23:30).
Remember that there's a curfew at midnight do most places will be closed by 23:30 but you can go to the local discotheque too if you like mixing with the locals more or to the bowling alley where everyone meets.
It's ok to be in a tuk tuk but don't walk around at night :)
