davidjo Says: From the centre of town head down the road at the back of the tourist office which will lead to a rickety bridge crossing the river, turn left and you will come to a small village, walk straight through it and eventually you will come to the main road where ther is another...
visit the stupa for good view of town
davidjo Says: From the town you will probably see a stupa in the distance, head in that direction and cross the football field and you will head up hill until you reach the road leading to the stupa. The monks will be glad to open the door so you can see the display inside the stupa. The...
picek Says: About best mean to explore the area in vicinity of town is by bike. Have a ride around, visit villages and rice fields, there are some lovely views as taken from postcards. Bikes can be easily rented from various places in town for decent price. Traffic is more scarce than...
Richard.GVA Says: Wonderful country side, good roads and little traffic: a paradise for the leisure cyclists.
Richard.GVA Says: Quite untypical for Laos: the roads in the Luang Nam Tha county are generally in an excellent condition, and traffic is calm. We really enjoyed discovering discovering the nature and some ethical minority villages on a bike. Temperatures are more pleasant than in the south,...
THOULASITH GUEST HOUSE: FRIENDLY CENTRAL PLACE
davidjo Says: We checked out several guest houses and selected this one as it was centrally located and set back from the main road so there was no disturbance from traffic noise. There was also a nice garden with a couple of hammocks to relax in. It was a newly constructed building and...
Houng Heuang Guesthouse: next to propaganda tower
picek Says: Well, this place has cheap price and clean rooms and is in city centre - precisely next to municipal building with tall propaganda tower. We paid 60 000 KIP for double bed with private bathroom. Single was 50 000 KIP. In the late evening water didn't run - nor cold nor hot....
davidjo Says: Off of the main street is a night market which sells some delicious food. It is quite new and when you enter there are various stalls selling spicy papaya salad, grilled chicken, duck, shakes, beer and an assortment of other tasty treats. Inside the main building local...
MINORITY RESTSURANT: try the local delicacies
davidjo Says: This restaurant allows you to sample meals from the local minorities as well as the usual dishes,which is right on the main road next to Thoulasith GH. the building is native style and has an excellent notice board at the entrance with many literature and foto albums. There...
Panda restaurant: family restaurant with view
picek Says: Panda is small, nice place in Luang Nam Tha a few steps from the main road. Family takes care of it, cook and serve the dishes and we found ourselves eating there few times: they fry delicious fish and Lao foods. On the menu they also have few western dishes (and sandwiches)...
new bus station and bus to Luang Prabang
picek Says: New bus station means new location: inconveniently far from the city centre - the Lao way of keeping tuk-tuk drivers in business. That one is 9 km far from the town and it takes about 20 min by tuk-tuk to get there. Tuk tuk charged 15 000 KIP per person for that ride. If you...
l_joo Says: Try it. On our small truck 8 hours' drive, 4 Israelis, 2 Irish, 1 Spanish and 2 of us Malaysian, we were ganjaing all the way, and the spanish guy offering us his whisky. wow
davidjo Says: Allow plenty time if travelling between Louang Namtha and Udomxai as we were held up for 2 hours because of an accident---two times--the same on the return trip a few days later!!
picek Says: Here's warning once again - you're in province which has lots of minorities (others call them 'hill tirbes') and some of the groups don't want that you take photos of them. You always have to ask before you want to do so and if you do it against their will they may be...
davidjo Says: While staying in Louang Namtha my wife found herself extremely sick, up all night vomiting, unable to walk 500m to the local hospital. the hospital was a clean building but many patients were admitted to the wards with serious complaints.We had to wait for a female doctor to...

Reflection in the water. Luang Nam Tha is mountainous province and city of same name is surrounded by hills. Luang Nam Tha - means 'big river Tha'... and river brings life here. So let's hope it...

This morning’s breakfast before the trek consisted of scrambled eggs, coffee Laos (a thick and sweet brew) and a French baguette. The baguette was a nice change. At least the French did some good in...
