Day 2

place Luang Prabang City Tour

Explore the city by Tuk Tuk. The Tuk Tuk (a motorized rickshaw) was brought to Southeast Asia in 1934 from Japan and has since then become an icon of the region. The classic Tuk Tuk has a sheet-metal roof covering an open frame that rests on three wheels. They’re one of the most popular forms of transportation in Laos, Thailand, and Cambodia, and this Southeast Asian emblem is the perfect vehicle for an open-air tour of Luang Prabang. Depart from the hotel at 08:30, get on the Tuk Tuk to the open-air Morning Market in the old town. There are only a few large grocery stores here—instead, food is still produced by small farming families and villages and brought to Luang Prabang from the surrounding rural areas. The guide will explain the common vegetables and fruits that are in season and pick up some snacks for later. A short walk from the market is Wat Mai Suwannaphumaham (“New Monastery ''), the National Museum (Royal Palace), and Hor Phra Bang. After the museum, travel again by tuk-tuk through more of the picturesque town to Wat Visounnalath. Continue to Heuan Chan Luang Prabang for a short activity and learn how to make Banana Leaf and Flower. Another short tuk-tuk ride along the Nam Khan River to Wat Xieng Thong. End the day’s tour on top of Mount Phousi.
