Luang Prabang
This could possibly be the most quaint little city in SE Asia. Is dubbed a UNESCO World Heritage site, this place is what I call a quiet Chiang Mai. My time here consisted of Treks in the Mud, Bicycles in the rain about 40 km to remote villages, Kayaking down the Mekong where I said goodbye to one of my cameras (it was the Kayaks fault), and of course a cooking class.
My hotel (Indigo House) was located right upon the main street with the night market in sight. Easily accessible from the airport, and a great café for breakfast or any meal, this hotel is a place people must stay in Luang Prabang.
I frequented a restaurant three nights in a row owned by a Canadian man and it had some of the best smoked meats I have had outside of the United States. The Hive has a perfect mix of different styles of foods with a smoked SW USA flare. Plus the beer is very well priced and has a mix of outside and inside sitting areas. I would love to see this place during high season as it probably flourishes with all the food and drinks your heart desires!!!!
POOOOOOOOORRRRRKKKKKK!!!!

Memories of Luang Prabang? Pure outdoor activities and villages. I think this is the best way to see surrounding areas. A company that speializes in Eco Tourism that I used is Green Discovery Laos. My guides name for three days was Bounsou. Absolutely brilliant guy-12 k hike in mud to waterfall, 40 km bike, and 14 k kayak.
