Luang Prabang part 2

Our last full day in Luang Prabang did not have any planned activities. So we did some exploring of our own.
We got up early at 5 in the morning to see the daily monks alms procession. This is where they get food offered. Unfortunately it was not as nice as we had hoped, as tourist were just walking next to the monks and making pictures of them. The lack of respect was very shocking.
We continued our early journey onwards to go to the top of mount Phousi to get a nice view of the sunrise.




The rest of the day I walked through the streets ... and discovered a Belgian bar 🤗

Mekong Riverside dinner

Floating down the river Mekong we end up at a small town in Laos (Muang Pakbèng) to spend the night. We found a really nice restaurant with a view and had an amazing meal! We also discovered the happy bar, although happy might be a bit exaggerated. In the morning we continue our way on the Mekong direction Luang Prabang.

Klong riverboat tour and Wat Po visit

As we have noticed, it's better to do stuff in the morning in Bangkok. In the afteroon it just becomes too much. At that point waiting lines grow exponentially, whether it being for going for lunch or visiting one of the many amazing sites in Bangkok. So 8AM we hit the road, starting a tour by boat on the Klongs (canals). An amazing trip along the many (mainly wooden) houses built into the canals. You also come across a huge Buddha statue and get a view of the Wat Arun temple complex. Next up was the Royal temple of Wat Po. Wat Po is the home to +1000 Buddha statues/images, from small to large ones, including a massive 46m long reclining Buddha.
