Luang Prabang

Laos, a small yet charming country. A country with good weather, good people and good food, is a country that travelers, and photographers like you and I simply could not miss. 

Luang Prabang, is a compact town easy to explore within a day, yet there's so much things to do and see. Throughout my stay, Luang Prabang has been an impressive destination, a haven for lovers of art and peace, guarded within the depths of the forests, and hills that encases the town like diamonds in a stone.

Despite being the central hub for South East Asian tourism and a town packed full with tourists, Luang Prabang is surprisingly quiet, keeping itself contained within the local lifestyle that had been unique to Luang Prabang for centuries.

Below are some of the images captured to express the very essence of Luang Prabang, and I hope these series of photographs would fully express the beauty of this town for you kind readers to experience.
