Luang Prabang was once the capital of Laos. It may appear a sleepy town, but Luang Prabang remains the intellectual and cultural capital of Laos. Everywhere there are statues of the Buddha, and the monks in their robes of orange and saffron remain the enduring image of the town, a reminder of the depth of the culture.
