This resilient UNESCO World Heritage site is world renowned for its richly artistic architectural styles, which pay tribute to both classical Lao style and French influences from its colonial period. Luang Prabang is a spiritual centre for Lao Buddhism, and its clergy have shown dedication to their city’s value and beauty by passing building restoration techniques down to younger generations of monks.

Sample some French pastries and coffee at Joma café before visiting Wat That Luang, a national symbol, to get an introduction to Buddhism. Take a lotus flower and joss sticks in your hands as you walk three times around the stupa for best wishes for your journey.

Rise early to the sound of the gong calling the monks to morning prayer, before heading out to the main street to give morning alms. Each day, the hundreds of Buddhist monks that live in the many temples of Luang Prabang file around town to collect offerings from townspeople looking to receive some good merit.
