Excursing the Mekong River departing from Luang Prabang via a wooden boat. Two days travelling to explore the beautiful riverside villages on the route leading to Thailand as well as the exotic caves surrounding.
From Luang Prabang, embark the Luang Say Cruise at 07:00 (note: please be at the dock no later than 06:45) to begin this two-day tour.
Depart to Pak Ou Caves, the place is also known as Tam Ting Caves with 2 hours upstream from Luang Prabang. These caves are carved out of natural limestone cliffs and also known as a sacred place for local pilgrimages. The caves themselves contain a lot of gold lacquered Buddha statues with the sizes ranging from a tiny piece to the size of a human.
Heading to Pakbeng after the first stop at Pak Ou, passing by the village of Ban Baw, disembark to experience the traditional method of making rice alcohol. Then, return to the cruise for continuing the tour of the day on the beautiful Mekong River whilst enjoying a delightful buffet lunch on board.
