Swimming at Pan Kled Villa

Swim

The pool at Pan Kled Villa in Chiang Rai (before we went to Laos) was amazing. It was spacious and not too cold. We swam in it every day because we loved it so much. It had a thermal pool that was a little warmer than the regular pool. I loved to do flips and handstands in the pool. The pool also had very good lounge chairs. I would rate the Pan Kled pool a 8 out of 10.

Eating in Luang Prabang

Eat

Tamarind Restaurant

We ate at Tamarind on our last night in Luang Prabang. I ordered the kid’s sampler, it came with sticky rice, salsa, vegetables, dried buffalo, pork sausage, egg, seaweed, and sticky rice crackers. It was so so so so delicious. The workers at Tamarind taught us the traditional way to eat sticky rice; roll it up into a ball, then dip it in the salsa with your thumb, then plop it in your mouth! I would definitely go back to Tamarind to eat the scrumptious food they have to offer. I would rate it an 8 out of 10.

Le Banneton

Luang Prabang was colonised by the French in 1893, so there are a lot of bakeries with croissants and baguettes. Le Banneton had the best croissants and crepes. We went there 4 times!! Once I ordered an almond croissant, once I ordered a banana-chocolate crepe, once I ordered a ham and egg crepe, and once I had a chocolate crepe. You can see my crepe in the 2nd Le Banneton picture. I highly recommend Le Banneton. I would rate it a 9 out of 10.

 Night Market

The Night Market was a great place to get dinner or lunch. It was practically always busy but had awesome food. Food we got there included rice, dumplings, fish, sausage, smoothies, and most importantly, cake!! The picture above shows the stall where we got fish and sausage. I would rate the Night Market a 7 out of 10.
