Kuang Si Waterfall Just a short ride away from Luang Prabang is this beautiful waterfall. In the wet season the water tumbles down the staggered cliffs for 60 metres, finally crashing into the clear, azure pools below. Beautiful for picnics, the water spray keeps the area cool and the pools are popular with swimmers.
Tad Se Falls
Quieter and less well-known than Kuang Si, these falls are very pretty, with many small waterfalls and pools for bathing. During the peak of the dry season there is very little water, so these are best seen during the wet season. |

Ban Xang Hai
This village is home to a rice wine distillery. Villagers make a potent but smooth liqueur, widely available in the region, known as lao-lao. Visitors are welcome to try the various wines and spirits and are encouraged to take away with them a jar of 'snake liqueur' which is, as one might expect, a glass bottle of lao-lao with a snake curled up in the base. Ban Phanom
Better known as the village of weavers, the inhabitants here have been making silk and cotton fabrics for over three centuries. The full cycle of silk production is on display, from breeding the silkworms right through to weaving the fabric. A shop sells the finished products: bolts of cloth, items of clothing, mementos, handicrafts and gifts. |
