We then board an upstream cruise on the Mekong River and stop at Ban Xieng Mene, Wat Chomphet and Wat Long which gives us a panoramic view of the tranquil countryside. Visiting Pak Ou Caves which is a sanctuary consisting of two large caverns, both repositories for thousands of Buddha images will be the main activity for the afternoon. We will also stop at a few villages during the day, including Ban Xanghai where the local rice wine is produced and Ban Xang Khong, where locals produce Saa paper, an autochthonous product of Laos.

    Day 3: Luang Prabang – Kuang Si Fall (B, L, D)

    Every dawn in Luang Prabang, the streets are filled with leisurely processions of saffron-clad monks participating in Tak Bat: The Alms-Giving Ceremony, one of the wonderful ancient traditions of the Buddhist Land of a Million Elephants, drawing visitors from all over the world to visit and observe or even participate and today, the Alms-Giving Ceremony will be our optional early start. Then back to the hotel for our hearty breakfast. Start our last day with a visit to The National Museum at the former Royal Palace, which displays a lovely collection of artifacts reflecting the richness of Lao culture throughout the ages. Feel free to venture into town and stroll around the shopping areas if that are your things. From there we will drive to the beautiful Khouangsi Waterfalls where you can swim in the turquoise pools or walk along forest paths. Picnic lunch served – subject to weather conditions. Today, we will also visit several of local villages which are the home of the minority people such as Ban Thinkeo (Hmong), Ban Thapaene (Khmu) and Ban Phanom (Thai Lu). Making silks and cottons are the main way to pay cost of living in this area. Return to the hotel and get ready for a delicious meal at a local restaurant in the city.

    Founder & Photography Guide

    Specialties: Culture, landscape, portrait, hiking, active and adventurous tour

    Besides my unlimited passion for traveling, a professional tour guide for over a decade, I have been taking photographs since sitting at Hanoi of the University of Culture in the early 2000s. Photography started as a hobby but it was seriously taken due to my work relations and my significant passion for the beauty of our world, especially in Southeast Asian parts such as Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Myanmar.

    Within a few years of taking photographs, my works began to be recognized by many reliable international publications such as AFAR Travel, The Times, and The Daily Telegraph newspaper. In addition, I continuously add to my growing profile by winning numerous major awards: 3rd Position of The Independent Photographer 2018, 1st Position of Amateur Photographer of the year 2018, Grand Prize Winner of the AFAR Travel Photography 2019, and a Gold Award of San Francisco Bay International Photography 2020.

    I photograph a wide variety of subjects, from travel to landscapes to street scenes. I enjoy documenting the East’s rich cultural heritage and its land soaked in glorious sunrise or sunset light in remote and secluded spots. And, I am very happy to share my knowledge and experience with you. You can visit Luminousvietnamtour to explore tour!
