I have visited Vientiane, the capital of Laos, before. This time I visited Laos again during the ‘Visit Laos Year 2024’. My main visit was in Luang Prabang, the old capital of Laos and the UNESCO world heritage city. I also visited Vang Vieng and Vientiane. From pictures shown below, I tried to avoid the most popular scenes that you always find on social media sites. Though it’s quite hard to do so unless you travel on your own and don’t take a tour.

Leung Prabang, the Mekong River and mountains
Luang Prabang, Wat Mai Suwannaphumaham’s gilded relief panels
