In 2008 I was on a tour in Laos and we did stay for a few days in Luang Prabang, the former capital & royal city of Laos. This photo was taken from the peninsular between the Mekong River and the Khan River and overlooking the Mekong River (also called Mae Nam Khong). If you want to travel in Laos and need information or help about your transport, itinerary, tours or accommodation then send me a email at The Little Elephant Traveling in Thailand.
