Luang Prabang Phou Si hill




One thing most tourists do whilst in Luang Prabang is climb up Phou Si (Phu Si) hill to watch the sunset. There is an entry fee (10,000 kip, US$1).

When I went up in 2007 it was so crowded that I didn't actually wait for sunset, as there was no where to sit. And I had already seen sunset over the Mekong.

There are great views of the town and rivers from the top.

On the slopes of the hills are some small temples. One is Wat Tham Phou Si, aka as Wat Thammothayaram.
