  • In today's Laos travel vlog, we'll explore the amazing Luang Prabang, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that you can't miss when visiting Laos. Nestled in the north-central part of the country, between the Nam Khan and Mekong rivers, Luang Prabang is known as the "cultural capital" for good reason.
    We rent a motorbike and head 45 minutes outside of the city to explore one of the top tourist destinations in Luang Prabang, Kuang Si Waterfall. This impressive waterfall has incredible turquoise waters and multi-tiered pools cascading down the site. There is also a small bear sanctuary that showcases sun bears, moon bears, and Asiatic black bears, all rescued from the illegal wildlife trade.
    If you would like to donate to Free the Bears' mission, you can do so here: www.freethebears.org.
    From there, we move on to Laos Buffalo Dairy to tour their impressive farm and interact with an assortment of animals, including Lao water buffalo, pigs, rabbits, goats, dogs, and cats.
    On our way back into town, we take a short rest at a picturesque cafe overlooking working rice fields and some of the stunning mountainous landscapes this incredible country has to offer.
    We take a moment to relax before setting off to enjoy the sunset from the tallest point in the city, Phousi Hill. Squeezing through loads of people hoping to get their "Instagram-able" sunset photos, we head back down the mountain to our last stop of the night.
    The Luang Prabang night market isn't the largest we've experienced, but it holds a special place in our hearts. We spent many a night here browsing the handicrafts and wares and enjoying entertainment and delicious foods in the night market's gorgeous food court.
    We hope you enjoy coming along with us on this journey through one of our favorite stops in Laos, and as always, we'll see you in the next video!

    Luang Prabang looks just magical! The combination of the beautiful nature, the architecture and the laid back vibes has it right at the top of my travel bucket list. And those baby buffalo were pretty damn cute (when they weren't fighting each other)!

    • @mikeandashley
      @mikeandashley  Před rokem +3

      You nailed it. It was probably our favorite place in Laos tbh. The city itself was so wonderful.
      And yea, the baby buffalo were so cute. Apparently the one is a bully for milk! The tour guide told us they typically have to feed him separately because he will go bother all the other buffalo if they feed them.

      Of course! We love it here. It seemed like there were a good amount of tourists, but not as many as we imagine we’re coming before the pandemic. Our friends who were here in 2018 recommended it for us and we were not disappointed! We have a vlog about Vang Vieng coming out soon! We hope you enjoy it. Thanks for watching! ✌️😊

    Great clip! I'm jealous to see Ashley had the whole waterfall to herself. Even though I'm a city girl, I personally don't like congested places or noisy overpacked locations. The waterfalls look like paradise - definitely heaven on earth. Glad you see you guys enjoying Laung Prabang, Laos.

      Oh that’s wild! It was probably our favorite place. Though we only visited 3 cities, the vibe and culture there was so nice. We would love to go explore more of Laos soon.

      We know! 😅😭 Since I left my phone in the motorbike and had to run back and get it, we didn’t have as much time as we had hoped because we had booked our tour at the buffalo dairy! We are very bummed, but we will visit Luang Prabang again for sure. Thanks for letting us know. And thanks for watching! ✌️😊🥰

    Thank you for sharing this. Who was your tour guide? I will be visiting in April and someone is charging me $110 for one day (10hrs) going to the tribe, Kuang Si waterfall and Elephants place. Also is it easy to get money from ATM? Charges? sorry for so many questions

    • @mikeandashley
      @mikeandashley  Před rokem

      No worries! That’s why we make these videos. 😊 We didn’t have a tour guide for anything except the buffalo dairy. We simply rented a motorbike from our hotel for ~150k Kip which is about $8.50. It’s a 45 minute ride out there. You can also take tuk tuks from the center of town. They will be EVERYWHERE offering you rides. Money from the ATMs was never a problem for us. Sometimes the amounts you can take out at one time is limited to 2,000,000 Kip, but that was the only inconvenience. We never had any issues with it. Hope this helps! I can’t recall the ATM fees, but they weren’t bad at all. Thanks for watching. 😊 If you have any other questions, just let us know.
