"In Asia - Episode 3 - LAOS" from Vincent Urban on Vimeo.

The song playing throughout the video just might become one of your new favorites ...

It's only April, but many of us have already switched to iced coffee and put away our sweaters. Now's the time to start thinking about summer vacation, whether you plan to explore a national park or soak up the culture in a city like Havana. When you're a kid, summer is all about playing outside and staying cool, preferably with lots of ice cream and water projectiles. Today's Photo of the Day ...Beauty, adventure, and spa treatments at the Kuang Si Falls near Luang Prabang, Laos

The Kuang Si Falls near Luang Prabang, Laos, are a majestic 3-tier waterfalls that almost looks like a giant natural staircase (and could be, as you can climb the falls). The falls are surrounded by lush forest and myriad opportunities for hiking where you will come across various cascading pools of water, many of which are fine for swimming, as well as charming bridges and limestone cliffs. ...
Exploring the Pak Ou Caves near Luang Prabang, Laos
Jan 10th, 2012 at 1:00PM:
While traveling through South East Asia, I had the opportunity to explore myriad temples and religious sites. Wat Po in Bangkok, Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep in Chiang Mai, and Wat Xieng Thong in Luang Prabang were all stunning sites of spirituality that I would recommend to other travelers. However, visiting the Pak Ou Caves near Luang Prabang, Laos, was an extremely unique religious site ...
Luang Prabang - 3 days in Laos
Mar 23rd, 2011 at 10:00AM:
Luang Prabang is lush, quaint, and improbable. This magical town of butterflies and baguettes seems to exist on dreamlike terms - an island of civility in the savage jungle of Laos. Sometimes a pinch is justifiable to confirm the reality of it all. The green hills, gorgeous colonial buildings, and kind villagers all combine to form a thriving UNESCO heritage city that is Southeast Asia with ...Gadling's favorite destinations for 2011
Dec 7th, 2010 at 10:00AM:
We travel a lot, to destinations both well-known and unfamiliar. In our defense, it is our job to travel like mad, to explore the world and then write about our discoveries.
Though most travel writers find something or other of interest in most places we visit, there are always those personal favorites that rise above the rest. This year, we decided to scribble our favorites down for you. ...Photo of the day (2.25.10)

Today's photo of the day comes from Many Moon Honeymoon who stumbled upon a natural "infinity pool."
He explains:
Tat Kuang Si waterfall is about 32km outside Luang Prabang in Laos. After taking this photograph, I went for a swim. The edge of the pool, where water spills over the side is heavily overhung, and there is about a 10 metre drop below to the next pool. It has to be the best ...South by Southeast: Exploring Luang Prabang
Dec 30th, 2009 at 9:00AM: Welcome back to Gadling's series on backpacking in Southeast Asia, South by Southeast. As travelers, we have a tendency to overload our trips with adventure and movement. This is especially true in Southeast Asia - as I've discovered in Thailand and Laos, there's no shortage of motorbikes to ride or zip lines to catch. But if you truly want to understand this part of the world, it's not a vigorous ...
