Laos City of Interest Luang Prabang

Luang Prabang is named after the world-renowned Phra Bang Buddha, employed in ancient times to dispel the fears on the kingdom's subjects. Legend has it that Fa Ngoum, the monarch accountable for the creation with the Buddha, applied the golden image to spread Theravada Buddhism within the kingdom. The Phra Bang Buddha in Luang Prabang, Laos survived several attacks from foreign invaders along with civil unrests. These days, it remains a extremely revered object of devotion, close to the hearts from the Lao folks.

But this Buddha is not the only point to determine when in Luang Prabang, Laos. There are several tourist attractions worth the trip to this Asian nation. The town has long been peaceful, and tourists can come across serenity within the surrounding green hills along with the proud, gleaming temple roofs, just some of the remaining influences of French architecture. An astonishing view with the town is what the Phu Si Hill offers; its slopes are lined with distinct wats and at its peak sits That Chomsi, a really large stupa. Here is where by amazing sunsets is usually seen and enjoyed.

For a closer encounter with nature, the Tham Ting Cave, located north in the city proper, can provide satisfaction to any adventure-hungry soul. The cave, which might be reached by riding upstream on a boat, contain numerous outstanding rock formations, and at its last corner sits Buddha images placed by the really very first worshippers and preserved by their descendants. In front with the cave is really a treat for that eyes: the union of the Nam Ou River as well as the Mekong River, a hint at old military strategies. Travelers may well find the coffin-shaped Pha Ene Mount, situated about the left bank with the Nam Ou River, quite interesting – it represents a nearby folktale, that in the romance involving Kounlou and Nang Oua. Locals are best-equipped to tell this famous love story in Luang Prabang, Laos.

Should I visit Angkor Wat while I am in Southeast Asia?

I am going with my Mom to Thailand and Laos in August in a tour group. We are spending are maximum budget for this years trip but there is an extension pre trip to visit Angkor Wat in Cambodia. But the only thing is that it is $1,000 extra, and we cant really afford more then we already are going to be spending. I hear a lot of wonderful things about Angkor Wat and how it is so beautiful and etc.

Do you think it is worth it to spend the extra money and visit Angkor Wat?


Some pictures from Cambodia and Angkor Wat may help you :

Are you interested by such a cultural trip ?
Does the tour extension offer enough time and support to really enjoy the tour to Cambodia?
May you have another opportunity to visit Cambodia later on?
Is it possible to replace the Laos tour with a Cambodia tour?

Above questions are probably the kind of factors you have to consider.

Visa needed for Australian traveller in Asia?

For Australian citizens who are thinking about going to Asia, which country require visa? Stay at each country will not exceed 2 weeks ( just a quick tour). Also, which country allow visa to be brought at their airports like going to Turkey for Australians . That way time will be saved and visas could be pre-arranged

Thank You

Countries are
CHINA
JAPAN
S KOREA
VIETNAM
CAMBODIA
LAOS
THAILAND
PHILIPPINES
BRUNEI
INDONESIA
MALAYASIA
SINGAPORE
NEPAL
MONGOLIA
INDIA
BHUTAN


China, Vietnam, India... all require Visas in Advance. There might be one or two others in there like Brunei and Mongolia,,, Maybe Bhutan but the rest are VOA Visas at the Border. This is all easy stuff and most Visas can be secured on line these days like this site for Vietnam.
https://www.visa-vietnam.org/
China's visa policy changes all the time and sometimes they want to have a list of every destination and what hotel you are going to be staying at etc.

India wants you to show proof of solvency so take along a bank statement or two, or a huge chunk of cash to solve the problem. They just want to make sure you have enough money to leave so they don't have to support or deport you A**
have fun.

What must all be figured in planning a trip from Omaha Nebraska to Los Angeles, California?

Just getting a head start on planning a trip from Omaha, Nebraska to Laos Angeles, California. I NEED to talk to California people. I know nobody there! The trip will be for two weeks and it'll be my girlfriend and me, both adults, both with money, but we need prices for plane tickets, lodging, we're not tourists, we just want to scope out a city in California for a possible move. Anything worthwhile that I should know, please answer, comment, give advice. Thanks so much.


You can find prices for airline tickets and lodgings by doing web searches. I've traveled to many places and was always able to find hotel and airline information, even making my reservations online.

Try http://www.expedia.com/

also, the website of the airline(s) that go to Los Angeles from the city you'll be flying from. I do this because they are reliable and sometimes have the best deals.

And the websites for some of the chain motels like Best Western, Holiday Inn, Super 8, and Motel 6.

what are the historical and tourist places in Laos?



hi, a Lonely planet guide to Laos would be a good investment if oyu are going.

There is the "Gibbon Experience" close to "Luang Nam Tha" you can then boat it down the Mekong River to "Luang Phrabang" if you take a visa on arrival of 15days, visiting the above 3 places should take up most of your time.

enjoy

Will this SE Asia itinerary still work?

I was originally going to do 2 months in a clockwise tour. Thailand - Laos - Vietnam (north to south) - Cambodia - Bangkok.

Now I have some friend who are visiting Vietnam starting in Saigon and finishing in Hanoi. Could I do it this way instead.

Thailand - Laos (North to South then cross over to Cambodia) - Cambodia - Vietnam (South to North). then fly to bangkok. I know its a zig zag but is it worth me doing this just to hang out with my friends


I just returned from a trip to Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam.

This is the route I took with my wife: Flew into Bangkok, Two days there, then we drove in a mini van to the border with Cambodia. Walked across the border and got into a second mini van and went to Siem Reap. Spent Four days in Siem Reap visiting Angkor Wat then we went by bus to Phonem Penn for two days then by Boat down the Mekong River into Vietnam. Bus to Saigon. Few days there then flew to Da nang then Hoi An Bus to Hui then overnight train to Hanoi.

You can do it any way you want.

Do Thai like foreign tourists or do they despise them?

I understand from a few travellers, farang married to Thais and also from my own experiences that Thai only tolerate foreigners because of the tourist dollar they bring.

The Thais have a number of nasty phrases in their own language about foreigners.

When I am in Thailand I really dont feel welcome as I do in China, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia


In my experience it is a lot more difficult to get along with other nationalities. Thai people will leave you be and are very tolerant.

I am sure there is a bad apple in every basket.

You will always be a farang -foreigner- in Thailand. You always will be called farang where ever you go and if this bothers you, Thailand may not be such a Paradise for you. It is not meant to insult you but it's deeply engrained in the way Thai people refer to white people.

Thai people must be the most sociable nation on the planet. They are extremely friendly in particular in areas with few tourists. A smile from another person is always replied to with a smile. If they seem unsure about you it is probably because they are shy....a smile usually takes care of it and will be replied with a smile.
