Have you ever visited a city and thought, I just want to stay here as long as possible?
Luang Prabang in Laos is one such city. It has such a cool and laid-back feel and ambience and you can easily spend your days doing nothing but sitting along the Mekong or Nam Kahn rivers and staring at the natural beauty that envelopes this part of Laos. Appropriately referred to as heaven on earth, this UNESCO Heritage listed site is also by far the hippest place in Laos. The cool area of town is towards the peninsula end where the two rivers meet. For over 200 years Luang Prabang was the capital of Laos, the former Royal Palace is today the Luang Prabang national museum, make sure that you head out the back to the garage which houses some of the funkiest American cars from between 1950’s and 1970’s. Amongst the cars on display are a rickety Citroen DS and a priceless rare wing-edged 1958 Edsel Citation.
