Item Description
Welcome to Laos with a four-day, three-night richly colorful travel package for two. Here is in-depth look at this historic region, largely untouched by the modern world.
Reminiscent of the days when the great explorers of the 19th century discovered the Upper Mekong, The Luang Say Residence in Luang Prebang,Laos, reflects the elegant aspects of life in the colonial era. With its blend of Indochinese and French architecture, beautifully furnished, spacious suites, delectable cuisine and leisurely hours spent in tropical gardens or in the pool, the hotel encompasses the enchantment of Luang Prabang. The atmosphere at The Luang Say Residence is tranquil with generously-sized suites decorated in colonial style. Find a shady spot in the tropical gardens and relax surrounded by lily-filled ponds, banana palms and exotic flowers. Just minutes from Luang Say Residence is the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Luang Prebang with 33 exquisite temples and theRoyalPalace. Wander through streets filled with the scent of frangipanis, past French colonial architecture to gold-colored temples and monks in burnt sienna robes. End the day with an exquisite dinner in the hotel restaurant. All this is yours to enjoy during a two-night stay.
Next, experience the legendary Mekong on a riverboat journey through Northern Laos. Board one of the luxuriously appointed Pak Ou river barges for an overnight cruise through this remote and exotic land. All boats that cruise from Luang Prabang and back again are appointed with everything for your comfort, safety and enjoyment, offering the perfect way to relax and enjoy a unique and romantic cruise on the Mekong. Known locally as The Mother of Waters, discover with this cruise why the river has been venerated and worshipped for thousands of years. You will see villages along the river from several ethnic groups, ancient Buddhist temples, and all the activities that contribute to the economy of the people in Laos, such as farming, fishing, weaving, gold mining, whiskey distilling, and teak logging. Get ready for the trip of a lifetime!!
