Zurich Bread Factory & Cafe

Zurich Bread Factory & Cafe is located at the center of Luang Prabang. This cafe provides bread, cake, drink and so on. There are two types of seat which are indoor (they provide you air conditioner) and out door (there is no air conditioner). Moreover, I recommend you to walk to this cafe because it is located next to the street, so it is hard to find the parking area. #Laos #luangprabang #cake #drink #bread

Magical looking waterfall in the Land of Laos

Kuang Si Waterfall: If you only have time for one activity in Laos, then this is the place you MUST visit. Located nearest to the city of Luang Prabang in Laos, it is about 45mins drive away from the centre of town. Depending on your budget, there are several ways transport options like shared/private tuktuk, van, motorbike etc. I will recommend to get some help from your hotel to arrange a tuktuk for you. Like the usual attraction, get there early if you prefer less crowd! Swimming are allowed at certain parts of the waterfall, so bring along your swimming gears if you are up for an adventure swim! And respect the “no swimming” zone. And like the photos shown, the water are turquoise in color, and together with the whole foresty background setting, the whole place just looks really magical! This will be a trip you will never forget! #momentssg #scenicspotguide #unforgettableexperiences #hiking #naturalwonders

Best thing to do in Luang Prabang!

Visiting the Kuang Si waterfalls is the best thing I’ve done in Luang Prabang, Laos. The turquoise waters cascading into the these tiered pools made of limestone makes it really Insta-worthy! The best part is that you can also take a dip in the turquoise waters at certain allocated areas! But please take note of the signs that says no swimming in certain areas as some of the pools are considered sacred to the locals. There are toilets at the lower levels of the waterfall for you to change. You can also bring some snacks and drinks to picnic at one of the tables there after your swim. Remember to bring along some mosquito repellent though! Opening Hours: Daily from 8am to 5.30pm Entrance fee: 20,000 kip Hike from bottom to top: Takes around 15-20 mins and it’s a easy hike. #hiking #unforgettableexperiences #laos #luangprabang #waterfalls #scenicspotguide

Kuang Si Falls - Luang Prabang, Laos

Address - Ban Long, Laos Highlights - Waterfalls, Turquoise blue pool, Trail Rating - 4/5 One of the tourist attractions in Luang Prabang, Laos. I enjoyed the trail and do remember to bring your swimwear so that you can dip yourself into the pool to enjoy your day. #scenicspotguide#bestislandtraveltowns#naturalwonders#culturalattractions#nationalpark

The in inviting waters of Tad Sae

Tad Sae, like many other waterfalls across the world, was built over millennia when flowing water carved its way through the surrounding limestone, leaving beautiful cascades and pools. The fall, which is located near Luang Prabang, is easily accessible, making it a popular destination for residents and tourists wishing to get away from the rush and bustle of daily life. During the dry season, the fall dries to a trickle, but during the rainy season, the enticing water is cool and delightful. There are numerous lounging spaces and seats from which to relax and enjoy the fall foliage in perfect harmony. #popularswing#eventcelebration#hiking#nationalpark#naturalwonders#summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

Cave with thousand of Buddha

We took a lovely boat journey on the Mekong river to arrive to the Pak Ou caves, with beautiful views of the limestone mountains and riverbank life. The caves are set in a stunning mountain cliff at the point where the Mekong River meets the Nam Ou River and are home to over 4,000 Buddha symbols and statues. For millennia, the caves have been a center of worship and religious pilgrimage, dating back to pre-Buddhist periods when the locals worshipped Phi, or natural spirits. People think the caverns are still inhabited by river spirits, and they continue to give offerings and pray to them. #beautifulsunsets#bestislandtraveltowns#summervacation#beachvacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

I Loved stopping at this place to see the Laos forest, the falls and the sun bears. I would have loved to have gone for a swim in the pools, but the crowds were intense ( and this was in February 2020 before COVID changed everything). Go early and take your time at the sun bear sanctuary...fantastic. great outing , as always loved the lush green and foliage growing on the way to the waterfalls . Great day with a bit of cloudness and cool weather . Then hot again but as we got there the kids jumped in . Water still cold . We love it the small quietness during this time not a lot of people . Good for family and kids #summervacation#beachvacation#hikingtrails#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

Kuang Si waterfall Luangprabang us

Tad Sae waterfall might not be as famous as Kuang Si as it is a little bit further away and you need to take a boat to cross the river, which actually is quite fun! If you have extra days, it is worth a visit. There’s also elephant sanctuary there. #happynewyear #happynewyear

Kuang Si waterfall is one of the most famous attraction in Luang Prabang. It has many small waterfalls and pool where you can swim in. It’s reachable by the city by any kind of transportation including tuktuk for about an hour #happynewyear #happynewyear

#tadsaewaterfall #luangprabang is a spectacular natural wonder best appreciated in the wet season. Despite not being as high as Kuang Si waterfall there are many more streams of water which cascade and make a thunderous sound following plenty of rain. The falls pour over beautiful limestone formations across a variety of levels into large pools below, which are fantastic to swim in. #unforgetabletrip #happynewyear

Kuang Si falls must be the original Garden of Eden ?? Just a magical day. Irridescant blue waters cascade down the hills with multiple drops and pools. Swimming is allowed in several areas so take your swimmers !! Great meal options at the Park gates. Only slight disappointment was having to walk through the bear sanctuary on path to the falls, I'm not a fan of wildlife tourism but they looked happy and healthy. A MUST SEE when in Luang Prabang. #GiveThanks

The night market in Luang Prabang is not like a market, because the merchants seem to be indifferent to business, they are busy with themselves, which is convenient for tourists to pick and choose, buy and sell, everyone is happy Just fine. The foreigner street in Bairi is an exotic pedestrian street filled with French style and Southeast Asian style. It turned into a night market at night. It takes only 20 minutes to complete the entire night market. Most of the night market sells tourist souvenirs. Although it is not very attractive, it is also full of colorful and colorful. There are many bamboo products and paintings. In addition to the goods, there are some snack fruits, the price is not high. I like the handicrafts here, the colorful, the exquisite hand-made dishes, the handmade paper lanterns are all the epitome of Luang Prabang culture. Morning market is much more lively, mostly locals come out to buy, so the things sold are also more varied, vegetables, food, and some strange things, bustling, opened their eyes. Night market and morning market are on the street of foreigners. The morning market is on the street north of the night market. The ceremony is also on the street of foreigners.

Daytime Views of Luang Prabang

Climbed up Mount Phousi during the day to see the town of Luang Prabang. It was a great time being able to see the wonderful sights. At night, it's a place where you can see the night view. It was a time when I could see the whole of Luang Prabang during the day.

The beautiful historical city of Laung Prabang and its surrounding countryside are amazing to visit and enjoy in its peaceful and relaxing atmosphere of nature. The sunsets are stunning, setting behind the majestic mountains and the lush green landscapes brings out the pure natural elegance of environment. It’s definitely a place to experience and explore.
