GALLERY 15 - LAOS - Luang Prabang

Set at the confluence of two rivers that almost surround the town and beneath a temple-topped hill, Luang Prabang is a wonderful patchwork of traditional Lao wooden houses and hints of European architecture - reminders of when Laos was part of the French colony of Indochine. Golden-roofed wats (temples), decorated with mosaics and murals of the life of Buddha sit under the gaze of wrap-around teak balconies and 19th century shuttered windows, against a backdrop of verdant greenery and rugged mountains.
Monks at dawn collecting alms of rice from kneeling villagers (and early-rising tourists).
