La Résidence Phou Vao
Getting there
La Résidence Phou Vao is perched atop Kite Hill, about two kilometres south east of Luang Prabang's historic centre.
- Planes Fly into Luang Prabang International Airport. From there, pile into a taxi for US$6 (50,000 kip) for the four-kilometre drive east, or the hotel can arrange a transfer for US$25 each way.
- Automobiles Self-drive is not currently possible. Organising a car and driver from capital Vientiane via Vang Vieng (a good stop for those who want to go rafting or exploring caves) is an affordable option, although it is a nine-hour trip.
- Others Slow boats along the Mekong connect Luang Prabang with Huay Xai on the Thai border and Pak Beng. Luang Say Mekong Cruises (www.luangsay.com) is a sophisticated overnight option for adventurers. Speedboats also do the trip but are considered extremely dangerous.
