Travel Luang Prabang

Vientiane is the capital city of Laos. It’s located on the banks of the Mekong River near the border with Thailand. Luang Prabang is the charming UNESCO world-heritage town that is situated in northern Laos. This ancient town is built in the 19th and 20th centuries by the European colonial authorities. Tourists would be impressed by its unique and pristine architecture. Especially, if you can have a motorbike tour to Luang Prabang, you are able to enjoy beauty of surroundings on the way. Here are some guidance for you to have the best excursion.

Luang Prabang is about 400 kilometres far from Vientiane, not too closed, so you should prepare as much as you can before you begin. To start your trip, you need a motorbike, of course, a backpack, a map (you can use Google maps to indicate your situation), a Laos phrase-book, long trousers, coat and some cash.

The first challenge is finding out a good motorbike in Vientiane. You know, it is not easy to rent a motorbike under 130,000 kip in such large city. When you find out one with good price, you have to test-drive it before deciding whether or not you would borrow it to make sure you will be satisfied with it during these next days.

The scenery along the way to Luang Prabang

The first destination is Thinkgeo. For a cheap place to stay, you should choose Saysouly Guesthouse at 23 Manthatulath Road. It’s clean with a room costs from 50,000 to 120,000 kip. Then, just go along Lane Xang Avenue. The road is quite flat and easy so don’t worry.

Leaving Thinkgeo, you come to the next place, Vang Vieng. There are a lot of guesthouses, restaurants, bars, souvenir shops and the price level is much higher than other Laos countryside. You can see some amazing caves if you cross Namsong Bridge, but just make sure that you remember the way to turn back.

After finishing your trip to the caves, just head out to Kasi. At the beginning, the road is quite easy with green fields and pretty villages but after that, the challenge begins with steep roads. You can easily find out restaurants or snacks in Kasi. Tours in Laos

The next destination is Kiukacham. The way to get there is much harder but interesting. The hill starts as soon as you leave Kasi. You may take a view of many charming mountainous areas. Phou Khoun’s guesthouse is the best choice for you here. From Phou Khoun, the road climbs for a couple of kilometres then a descent makes you relax.

Now you only have to pass 80 km to get Luang Prabang. Climb and downhill interleave each other. It’s so great to see a lot of fascinating sights on the road. When you reach Prabang, I suggest you to stay at the Vilay Guesthouse with free wifi and other good services.

That are a basic guide for you about moving from Vientiane to Luang Prabang by motorbike. I hope it will be helpful. Just take your backpack and explore pretty Laos!
