Discover a pocket of French Riviera in Laos

Authentic Asia

This month, What’s On head to Laos. The land-locked nation thrives along the mighty Mekong River and its second city, Luang Prabang, oozes culture, tip top cuisine and luxury resorts that’ll have you ringing up your boss to plead for another week off. We guarantee it. Before you set off, add these must-dos to your itinerary…

THINGS TO DO

SOAK IN THE SUNSET ATOP MOUNT PHOUSI Don’t let the “Mount” part throw you off, the 100-metre high Buddhist temple is easily reached by 355 steps. Get there around 45 minutes before sunset to secure your spot on the cosy hilltop for dazzling views across Luang Prabang. Watching the sun flow from bright orange into deep purple as it drops below the neighbouring mountains and Mekong is a must for all visitors. Tickets cost 20,000 kip (Dhs8) and you must dress conservatively.

LAOS’ NUMBER ONE MASSAGE AT SPA BURASARI

It’s official, this luxury spa takes the crown as the nation’s best according to TripAdvisor. And with good reason.

HOW NOT TO LOSE YOUR COOL THIS SUMMER

This is a city that works hard, plays hard, but, on a boiling hot day, can feel like hard work. So look at this month’s magazine as a little cooling comfort pack to see you through the summer season. Let yourself be whisked off to our favourite indoor bars and hideaways – with AC, summery feels and maybe an ice-cold drink to keep you chill. Then dream of refreshing dishes to fill your belly. You’ve never had it so cool.
