What travellers are saying
- ianwyjSingapore5,188 contributionsProbably the largest complex of buildings in Luang Prabang, the grounds of the former Royal Palace bear testament to Laos's storied history over the last half-decade or so. Built for the royal family at the turn of the last century in what was then the country's capital, the buildings were eventually converted into a museum when the communists took power. During our visit, we spent more time strolling along the corridors of the main palace. Highlights included the king's & queen's reception rooms, murals depicting scenes of Lao life, statues, silk screens (one of which was weaved by a former queen), and various diplomatic gifts. Photography was prohibited so visitors will have to be content with relying on their memory. We also visited the palace temple and the barge museum. The former was moderately large in size with a three-tiered roof with an elaborate gold leaf-decorated facade, the highlight being the Buddha statue that gives its name to the city. Here again, photography was not allowed. There was also a royal cars exhibitiong (not much to see) with a couple of old petrol pumps (in poor condition), a couple of royal carriages (at least that's what the sign said). Do take note that the grounds are closed for a couple of hours at midday.Written 8 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- annminkyUnited States3,937 contributionsThis museum is a place where people can be reminded of the horrors of war. To this day, there are Bombies that need attending to. A museum to visit when you’re in Laos.Written 11 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Fussygirl74London, UK16 contributionsI took a half day bamboo weaving class with my children aged 11 and 17 years old and we all absolutely loved it. From the pick up from our hotel, to a lovely lunch and the range of available activities; everything was well thought out and organised. It’s really impressive actually that the founders have kept it going for so many years with such high standards. Well done! Our teacher Oun was always ready to help us with a smile on his face, he was very patient and spoke excellent English. He was funny and chatty and we spent a lovely time with him. We were very pleased with what we made and will only appreciate more these hand made items now we know the time and effort it takes to make them. I could not recommend more.Written 12 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
