Breakfast in the early morning hours. Departure to Luang Prabang and visit the royal complex. Luang Prabang is the historical capital of Laos. The city experienced its heyday in the 14th century, during the reign of King Fa Ngoum.

The entire city took its name from this statue - the most revered Buddha statue in Laos.

The architecture of the palace combines European and Lao styles in a very interesting way.

The stupa was rebuilt in 1900 by French colonizers, but the Lao, dissatisfied with the result, which did not reflect the original, demolished the structure, only to rebuild it 30 years later in their own style. The three-story, golden stupa, visible from a distance, today resembles a lotus flower. On the first full moon of the November That Luang festival, believers and monks from all over Laos flock here.
