Luang Prabang - 3 days in Laos {Gadling}

Apr 3rd 2011 1:12PM I lived in Vientiane, Laos 1971-1973. No bridge from Taduea to NongKhai, Thialand. Went to Luang Prabang in March '73 after the cease fire. Lots of bomb craters and airport buildings had shattered roofs. We did climb the hill to see the King's palace. Amazing to know that tourists travel freely and there are hotels etc. Vientiane had 2 small hotels, one even had an elevator !
