Exploring Luang Prabang
So we are here in Lan Pang we’re going to be renting a scooter hopefully one of these believe she said it’s 170 Kip which is a little over $8 for the day so but you have to leave your passport here and I don’t think she has helmets so we’ll
See Jeff is right over there negotiating either the baby blue one or the cream gream and black yeah the black one one yeah first one uh yeah the first [Applause] one we’re going with the cream and black one we were going to rent further down there was a shop that they were charging
120 Kip for the day but once we went over there they didn’t no longer have the scooter available so this one’s a little bit more but it’ll do and this one she was saying the lock it up at night if we don’t have uh indoor parking
At our hotel bring it back she’ll lock it up and we can pick it up in the morning I guess these get Stolle then she was telling me she’s a little she seems a little worried these bikes are pretty new we got this we don’t know where we’re going
We’re just going to cruise Around He Looking for a gas station we need gas a hot one today too oh right up here on the corner at the fuel station they rent these things empty it’s flashing too that’s fast is that enough 13 km can you do a little bit more I think we need more we’ll do
Another oh it doesn’t have like a thing it doesn’t have a thing a little bit more another another 40 says up here maybe that’s off go find a different one okay okay thank you cup CH all right it says it’s full it does look full but the gauge must be
Off I don’t know we’ll find out check out my teddy bear ready Ready We’re going to pass on the waterfall this is the road to get there and it’s still a 24-minute ride looks like some tough terrain for the scooter we don’t want to beat it up for the lady yeah it’s just a rental so we don’t want
To ruin this bike she has my passport I had to leave my passport behind I asked if I could leave a bigger deposit she wouldn’t let me all right we’re going to get out of Here N Bike Secured Is the sunset viewpoint on the Mong River we normally have breakfast over there on that side so we figured we’d come on this side and and see what the view is it’s where the two rivers join man that surprised Me Taking a little break we got some coconut smoothies and we ordered some sandwiches I think the lady ran and got them go get them from another restaurant they’ll be coming up in a minute so hot out there on the bike this is what I needed to cool off where close you
Down I think she puts like the whole coconut in here the whole thing well the inside of it that scared me I thought I was at the bottom it’s 110,000 Kip for lunch that’s two coconut smoothies and two sandwiches we’re still waiting on them which equates to $530 USD still waiting for that
Sandwich I’m hungry what are we doing after this after this right into the sunset okay they have arrived wa crazy over St [Applause] Look at this car fancy Okay we’re just returning the bike I cracked the helmet or the helmet Shield we’ll see how much that’s going to cost I cracked it when I was when I was taking it all you tell them you could tell them yeah no Problems so we told her about the broken shield and she charged us 80,000 Kip which is about $4 us so overall we paid about $ 122 $13 for the motorbike rental which is still affordable so we’ll be more careful next time which is still affordable up ahead there’s a night
Market you can buy clothes food we’re going to go for some food right over here is where I got my SIM card it was about $8 for the month 40 gigs and we also bought the train ticket from there too I want I want to see For Speech That’s Okay We kind got that over Ramen with fried mushrooms and coconut M put some of this in here 60,000 Kip for the fried mushrooms 60,000 for the Coconuts two of them and then the ramen 30,000 each really we’re really on to something with this the soup we just made it back to the hotel we’re going to call it a night but we highly recommend L perang it’s a really

Nestled in Laos, Luang Prabang is a timeless beauty. Staying in the historic area felt like stepping into history, with French-style buildings mixing with traditional Lao wooden houses. Riding around on a scooter, we discovered hidden gems, from lively local markets to the charming Luang Prabang Night Market. Handmade lanterns lit up stalls filled with colorful textiles and crafts. As the sun set, we reached a culinary high with a bowl of tasty ramen and perfectly fried mushrooms. Luang Prabang blends culture, history, and food seamlessly.
