Fasay Garden
Holiday home
👍👍 Definitely go here! And if you can, stay overnight.
We spent 2 days and one night here, with Si the host and his lovely family. We had a very comfortable room and all of the traditional home-cooked food that Si’s wife cooked for us was AMAZING. Eaten in their family home, there’s no better way to g...

Kuang Si Waterfall Park Ticket Office
Park
👍👍 This is a not to be missed natural wonder. There are two sections to this. One is a climb up to the source and then following it down. In the lower section the bluish crystal clear water gathers in pools ideal for swimming. But there are no showers or changing rooms. Sun drying is an option! The en...

Lao Green Restaurant
Restaurant
👍 For a restaurant in a tourist destination and right beside the waterfall, the prices are surprisingly fair. That being said, we only ordered 2 fruit shakes and french fries. The pineapple and mixed fruit shakes were very good. As for the French fries, they tasted good but the serving was TINY! I wou...

Luangprabang Civet Coffee
Cafe
😠 I cannot recommand the place. I was curious to taste the coffee, and it is good, but when I saw how their animals live, I regretted and left. We would not let dogs live like that, let's treat those cute animals better.

Vanvisa at the Falls
Lodging
🫤 This was a disappointment. Do not trust their photos as the reality is far from it. I give this 2 stars because of the really nice nature and views but the rooms are like I would made them 30 years ago from bamboo myself and they also feel this way. There are window glasses missing, torn electrical...

Luang Prabang Elephants camp
Tourist attraction
😠 I don't feel like I'm the right person to moralize here by any means. But my personal opinion is that such magnificent animals deserve better than being chained to a beam all day long, some of them even with the riding gear on them (ready to ride at all times).
I was invited there along the road to...
