Laidback relaxation in Luang Prabang
Guru, Nianne-Lynn Hendricks, Published on 12/01/2023
» Remember what the slow pace of life was like? I don’t. But this is exactly why places like Luang Prabang in Laos exist. It is to remind us that once in a while we have to take time to enjoy life at a pace slower than what we are used to. In a land, almost untouched by time, the Unesco World Heritage city of Luang Prabang has a certain charm to it that is only enhanced by stays at Belmond’s La Résidence Phou Vao.

Named "A New Encounter: Immersive Gallery of Korean Art”, the exhibition presents the Buddhist cultures of both nations, which have never been this cooler with innovative presentations.

Even though they may not be aware that it's his birthday and Xmas isn't even an official holiday despite all the lights and Christmas trees that pop up across the country. I've gone down Bangkok Post's archive (Xmas pun intended) to present a few quirky and local twists on the worldwide holiday. While they may not be unique to Thailand, they are definitely memorable. Merry Christmas, everyone!
