My sister and I just got back from a tour with Mr Thin and I was eager to write a review!
First off we got up early for morning alms-giving to the monks. I thought we would just watch but was thrilled to participate. Very moving and positive.
We then went to Wat Xieng Thong and Mr Thin gave us so much information about the monks that live there and how the whole community interacts with the temple. We also visited the National Museum (amazing), the morning market (a must!) and a traditional LP home.
On top of all that we visited the headquarters of OckPopTok which is a textile company, had a great lunch on the Mekong AND drove out to Kuang Si Falls which is was so beautiful!
The day would not have been as great as it was without our amazing guide, Mr Thin. Professional, kind and above all, knows Luang Prabang inside and out. We learned so much about not only LP history but Laos in general. There were so many takeaways about this UNESCO World Heritage town that I will always remember. Thank you Mr Thin!
I also have to mention our fantastic driver Mr Souk who got us through town in his beautiful new air-conditioned van smoothly and then all the way to the falls and back.
Thank you gentlemen!!
