🇱🇦 Luang Prabang Travel Diary | 6 Days in Paradise

✨ 5 Days is Perfect! (I stayed 6 and ended up just chilling at the hotel on the last day 😅) 🌊 Kuang Si Waterfall = MAGIC! Even with light rain, the water was crystal clear—no muddy mess like some photos show! 🛂 Visa on Arrival (Smooth & No Scams!) Flew from Bangkok DMK → 20 USD exact (no extra fees!). 3 counters, zero conversation—just slow, relaxed processing (classic Laos pace 🐢). No bribes! Just stand there and wait... patiently. 🚖 Transport Tips No public transport—rent a scooter (best option!) or use: Tuk-tuks (haggle hard!) LOCA app (works without a Lao number, but drivers sometimes round up the fare 😒). No coins in Laos! 56,700 LAK? They’ll charge 57,000. 💵 Money Exchange Airport rates suck! Just change enough for a taxi. Best spot: Rustic Gallery (near night market, Chinese-run, high rates!). WeChat transfers accepted! But go early—they run out of cash. 🙏 Morning Alms Giving (5:30 AM) – Must Do! 50,000 LAK for rice + biscuits (but watch out—vendors might "refill" your bucket and ask for more money after 😤). A deeply moving experience—worth waking up for! ☕ Slow Living at Its Best No hustle, no stress—just coffee by the Mekong and lazy city walks. The ultimate utopia ❤️ ⚠️ Only Downsides? Power cuts! (Hotels, restaurants, even the night market goes dark 💡➡️🕯️). Slowwww service (40 mins for food? Normal here.). #LaosTravel #LuangPrabang #SlowTravel #NoHustleJustVibes
