Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Does Luang Prabang have a beach or a sea?

No. It is a small town on a peninsula between the Mekong and the Nam Khan with no sea and no beach. The water experiences are river cruises and the swimming pools at Kuang Si.

How far is Kuang Si from town and how do I get there?

Roughly 30 km south of the centre, about 45 to 60 minutes by road according to travel sources. Options are a shared minivan ticket, a tuk-tuk or a tour that combines the falls with Pak Ou or a cruise.

How do I reach the Pak Ou Caves?

By boat, upriver from Luang Prabang where the Nam Ou joins the Mekong. Half-day cruises, kayak trips and combinations with Kuang Si are all listed, and the journey is a large part of the day.

Are Vang Vieng and Nong Khiaw day trips from Luang Prabang?

Not really. Both are long road journeys. Offers that start in Nong Khiaw or Vang Vieng are left out of this site; trips from Luang Prabang to Nong Khiaw with camping or a homestay are listed on their own page.

Why are slow boats from Thailand not listed?

They start in Chiang Rai, Huay Xai or Chiang Mai and end in Luang Prabang. This site lists tours that start here, so those transfers are left out.

How should I behave at the morning alms giving?

It is a religious practice at dawn, not a show. Dress covered, keep your distance, do not block the monks and follow your guide. Compare carefully with offers that promise close-up photos.
