You are still within walking distance to the towns historical temples, markets and restaurants. And, yet in a peaceful place where you can take things slowly, even slower than in the town where life seems to stop.

Just ask at the front desk for keys and you can easily cycle into town, or explore some of the nearby villages as we did. Traffic rules maybe different from your home country, but it is an easy to negotiate. Another big attraction in Luang Prabang is seeing or participating in the Monks receiving alms.
