Luang Prabang street scenes

These pictures were taken in 2007. It is fascinating walking around the town, down all the side streets, to see the mix of buildings. There were no big shops or supermarkets, just small sundry shops mixed with the souvenir shops and travel agents, and plenty of restaurants. It was quite hard to get cheap local Lao food unless you went to the market, but of course there were plenty of pizza, steak, coffee and bakery shops etc to cater to the tourists. We did find a local shop for beef noodles for breakfast.
