I really liked Luang Prabang. Flew in there in July 1972. Landed in the middle of a very Hot War. Stayed with a local Missionary and caught a plane out the next day. Went back 38 years later in 2010. Really enjoyed myself. Bused there from
Vientiane. That was a mistake! Next time I will fly there. I was a bit shocked to be handed a bill for $50 for feeding the monks. Silly not to negotiate a price. A common local rip-off.
