Luang Phabang (or Luang Prabang) is the most beautiful city in Laos, situated between the Mekong and the Khan river and has been nominated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
It was the royal capital until 1975. Nowadays it is famous for its many Wats (32 of the 66 dating from before the French colonization still stand), all of them well kept and with numerous monks.
Probably the most beautiful Wat is Wat Xieng Thong. Try to watch the sunset over the Mekong! A very good place to enjoy it is in the Wat Pha Baat Tai.
Make sure you eat at Villa Santi Hotel (formerly La Villa de la Princesse), where you get a wonderful Laotian dinner at an affordable price.
