Traveling Vang Vieng & Luang Prabang, Laos - Cinematic 4K Experience

Recap video from our trip to Laos in the fall of 2019. We stayed for 9 days in the country with the majority of the time spent in the city of Vang Vieng. Vang Vieng offers a wide range of outdoor activities including hiking, mountain biking, riding dune buggies, many different lagoons, hot air balloon rides, rafting, kayaking, tubing, and more! Luang Prabang was a more built-up city with many different temples to visit, a very large night market, waterfalls, river cruises, shopping, etc. During this particular trip we didn't have a set schedule of how many days we would be spending in each city or even how long we would stay in Laos.

Luang Prabang, Laos: The Most Beautiful Town I’ve Ever Seen! Exploring UNESCO site and Mekong 2022

Throughout my months in southeast Asia, the one consistent recommendation people encouraged me to do is to do whatever it takes to visit Luang Prabang, Laos. This town or city of 56,000 people is about a 2 hour super fast train ride or 5-8 bus ride through winding mountains north of the capital city of Vientiane, Laos. Luang Prabang is like no other place I've ever visted on earth. Its like stepping onto another planet where the earth and town live in harmony with each other. The culture is very kind and relaxed, the food is delicious and healthy, and everywhere you look brings an immense sense of serenity and gorgeous natural beauty. The Mekong river winds through the town and the mountain ranges jut up from lush green wildlife surrounding the town. I do my best to bring what I experienced here to you...

Luang Prabang (Laos) Vacation Travel Video Guide

Travel video about destination Luang Prabang in Laos.
North of Laos’ capital of Vientiane on the banks of the legendary Mekong is one of the country’s most impressive historic cities, Luang Prabang.In contrast to many other metropolises in South East Asia the former king’s residence of Luang Prabang has retained its pre-Colonial appearance and a seemingly endless number of temples and monastery complexes that are of great historical significance attract hordes of visitors each day. Thirty five monasteries that accommodate around seven hundred monks as well as a thousand novices and also the city’s many splendid temples highlight the deep religious faith that determines the every day life of Luang Prabang. The inhabitants of Laos are made up of a combination of several mountain tribes yet despite their differences they live together in harmony and perform their centuries old dances to the sound of traditional music, their performances filling the city streets with life. Luang Prabang, the unique former king’s residence on the banks of the legendary Mekong, has most assuredly managed to retain its remarkable architectural, artistic and religious splendour right up to the present day.

Did I Just Travel Laos? // Luang Prabang and the Effects of Tourism

Luang Prabang, Laos is a special place. The natural beauty and the religious architecture make it a truly unique place to travel. Backpackers felt this years ago. The people of UNESCO recognized this and declared it a UNESCO World Heritage City. Since then, tourism has boomed. From 1997 to 2016, the number of tourists visiting Luang Prabang grew 890%. It couldn't be stopped... The town changed.

This video discusses what tourism does to a place - both the positives and negatives. I discuss how it effects the local people, the culture, and the tourists.

In many ways, tourism is a double edged sword.
From the tourist’s point of view - I want to experience an authentic culture, but the places that have the attractions, the ones people go to and fall in love with, they’re often setup for tourists and I find myself experiencing the tourist industry of a town, rather than an authentic, in this case, Laos town.

From the point of view of the local - tourism took away one of the biggest worries that the people had - money. Tourists have brought tons of money into the city, into the pockets of the people. They’ve created jobs. They’ve made lives easier. But it can also destroy a town’s identity.
A booming tourism market can drive out locals and have them replaced with developers.
It’s ironic - the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization AKA UNESCO - their whole point is to preserve the culture of sites and cities. And yet, you could argue that they’re changing the cities into tourist places. It does help preserve aspects of the culture, but it erases other aspects.
For example, the fisherman who goes out every morning and uses the traditional net to catch some fish, sell them at the market, and feed his family. He might find it more lucrative to use his boat to take some travelers on a tour. Maybe that traditional net gets tossed aside and we don’t see it anymore on the rivers around Luang Prabang. That’s just an example that I made up, but you get the idea. Now, we can hardly blame the man - he’s making more money and not having to work as hard, so it’s a positive thing for him, but that part of the culture was erased by tourism.

Of course, the tourist industry has also helped preserve Luang Prabang’s culture. It’s brought money into preserving temples and other traditional buildings. Since the industry has sprung up, traditional Laos architecture has actually experienced a resurgence. Tourists want to stay in a place with that vibe - so many of the restaurants and guesthouses have sort of de-modernized and went back to traditional materials and architectural styles.

Now there is a bit of a fake-ness to that.
I’d describe Luang Prabang as a boutique kind of town. Many of the hotels are well decorated, they’re not ornate, but they’re far more high-end than what you’ll find in other Laos towns. It doesn’t represent the country well. Laos is the most bombed country in the world. There’s a lot of struggle going on there. There’s a lot of poverty. If someone only went to Luang Prabang and they let that represent the country, they would have a completely wrong view of Laos.

So does that make Luang Prabang a bad place to visit? I mean, there’s a reason people go there. It’s stunning. It’s filled with religious architecture. There are 34 monasteries around. There’s a peacefulness that is still present despite all the foreign visitors. I liked it. I enjoyed the 3 or 4 days I spent there, but I would recommend going to other places in Laos. Get off the tourist trail a bit.

New videos are posted every Tuesday and Thursday at 3PM EST.

It was a multimillion dollars project which took three years to complete. This truly magnificent hotel was restored to its original splendor and is easily among the best one can expect in this world Heritage City.

The best time to visit Luang Prabang is between November and January, when temperatures are mild. If you happen to visit during mid-April, you might come across the Lao New Year festivities which include the tradition of splashing water. The rainy season (May to October) isn’t as intimidating as it seems, when rain mostly mean there will be afternoon showers, with plenty of sunshine in the rest of the day. If you go in October, you are likely to see the dragon boat racing held on the Nam Khan River.

A UNESCO world heritage city, Luang Prabang is one of the best-loved cities on a Lao tour and definitely a must-go. Local tour guides can help you catch a glimpse of some of the city’s most popular attractions. If you are interested to explore Luang Prabang, please consult the hotel tour desk for more information.
