Wat Mai Suwannaphumaham, Luang Prabang

Good quality local food, better than the hotel I was at. The added bonus is that all profits go to the Thai family planning association, which operates the restaurant and the ethnic museum above. One incongruous thing though, considering who runs it, is the waitresses are all running around in very skimpy uniforms, which to me looks really retro. At night they have a keyboard player/singer (not too loud) who does a pretty good rendition of classic western pop songs.

It is a small temple. If you have time is worth it to visit all temples around the city. It will take you one morning

10,000 KIP entry fee. The gold coloured wall carvings is quite unique here. I like the buddhist quotes scattered around the temple compounds.

Nice temple, and within easy walk of most hotels. The morning market starts behind, while the night tourist market runs across the front, 10000 kip for an entry ticket, but lots of things to see and take photos of within a small compound. After the visit, you can head to the Royal Museum next door, or Mount Phousi across the road. Do also check out the small library across.

One of main temples in this area. Nice to look around (I'm atheist but it's still ok to look around)
