In four full days and nights I spent 730,000 Kip (£57.38), which is approximately £14.34 a day - bloody good value for money I think. 

We stayed at Sysomphone Guesthouse for £5.92 per person, per night with air con, hot shower, nice room etc. The family were lovely too, helpful in booking tours, looking after luggage and so on.

My favourite thing was either the yoga at Utopia (I loved it, despite sweating more than I ever thought possible), or the Waterfalls. Of course, for the unique experience the waterfalls wins: it was an amazing place to see and there were the 'dead skin eating' fish in the water so that was a great freebie too (if you could withstand it!).

My favourite meal was at Coconut Garden, I had the tofu curry and it was delicious. The Night Market was a great place to explore and though they had very few food options, it might have been nice to try something more authentic. 

My favourite evening was our last, the movie night at L'Etranger Books and Tea - each day of the week a different new release is shown, we saw Inside Llewyn Davies, and I really liked it as a film, very funny.

As great as Luang Prabang was, we lucked out a lot with things being open; maybe that's what you get when you go in off season! But be sure to check in advance.

At the moment, I'm waiting for my plane to Bangkok, to be reunited with 3 friends and my boyfriend, so we can take Thailand by storm!
