    Sabaidi and welcome back to another video from Laos! In this video we are exploring the beautiful city of Luang Prabang. We are so excited to be here and give you guys our first impressions.
    Luang Prabang is a city located in northern Laos at the heart of a mountainous region, built on a peninsula formed by the Mekong and the Nam Khan River. We spent our first day here exploring the temples, walking along the rivers edge, and having our first hot pot experience!

    Great video. Thank you very much for this glimpse of home Luang Prabang. I've lived there twice in the past 8 years of teaching and volunteering in Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos. I didn't make it on a flight from Siem Reap, Cambodia back to LPB before the Pandemic travel restrictions began. Been waiting here for the possibility of a flight out for almost two years now. I've eaten and watched movies many times at the place you had breakfast and visited all the temples in this video. I miss and hope to be there again.

    Lots of wonderful memories… hope you get a chance to relax at the Utopia… there are also a couple of day-hikes in the countryside through rural villages and rubber plantations that end at one of the waterfalls. We enjoyed the hiking with the waterfalls as an ending rather than just driving to the waterfalls. Glad you are enjoying one of my favorite spots. We enjoyed dinner at Cafe Tuoi as well. Enjoy!

For our hiking tour before getting to Tad Sae, we hiked through a rubber plantation and a couple of remote villages with lunch in one of the villages. It was quite enjoyable. Looking forward to getting back to Luang Prabang in 2023.

    Thanks for the uploads, brings back memories from 20 yeas ago for me . It’s still got that laid-back feeling and peace on earth if there is such a thing . I remember doing A kayaking Day down the river that was a great adventure, stoping at some very spiritual caves . Also taking a boat out at sunset to see the Mekon Dolphins. Maybe that was further north . Any way enjoy yourself and make the most of your trip . Thanks 🙏

I've been to Vientiane and surrounds before, but this time am aiming for Luang Prabang. One question: how did you find the mosquito situation there? Everywhere seems to recommend malaria tablets for basically anywhere outside of Vientiane, so did you take them/have issues?
