I flew to Luang Prabang straight from Bangkok, Laos was part of a 44 day trip to 3 countries in Asia. I just got back from a somewhat unpleasant trip to Vietnam, so I was a little leary about Laos. Laos was so much better than I ever would have thought! Luang Prabang was beautiful and the people so friendly and humble. The temples were wonderful ...
I went to Laos to celebrate the 2003 new year for a few weeks. And it was a different experience. I always knew that Laos is like a brother to Thailand.

We are going back.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/10/05
We liked everything and found the city to be slow and friendly. Afternoons every one takes a break and then everything open in evening for late into the night relaxing and dinning.
