Luang Prabang Laos






Luang Prabang is a small town on the Mekong River. There are many guest houses for tourist who are starting to come to the area which is pretty and has a very relaxed and gentle pace. The photo of an eating area was the breakfast area for our guest house and it was across the street, under shady trees, overlooking the Mekong River. The lines of monks collecting alms along the street at 6 a.m. is another attraction for tourists. Many of the buildings have French shutters and doors. The mosaics completely covered a temple. The buckets of water being thrown over passing traffic is an annual celebration for New Year which was about to start.
