Laos Up Close

My name is Noh.  Laos is my home, and most people never think to come. That's part of its charm -- off the beaten path.  Let's start where I started, Luang Prabang. It's a small town, and slow in the best way.  The streets are empty between 10:00 pm and 5:30 am, but the city is full of history and culture.  It is the former capital of Laos before Vientiane became the capital.

Mornings here begin before sunrise, the river sets the pace, and nobody's in a hurry to get anywhere.  I grew up on these streets, and I still notice something new every time I walk them.  Come see it with me. I'll show you the Luang Prabang I know.  Then, I'll show you the rest.
