Join Cynthia LeCount, textile author and expert on this adventure to Laos and Cambodia. This great trip includes lots of temples, three UNESCO sites, and even more textiles! Weavers in this area are famous for their gorgeous, glowing silk textiles.
We fly into Bangkok, then head for Luang Prabang, Laos, the beautiful and laid-back former Royal Capital, and UNESCO World Heritage site. There we stay in a pretty guesthouse within easy walking distance of everything in town.
We'll stroll around the calm and pretty Luang Prabang, admiring and photographing the dozens of glittering Buddhist temples, visit the Royal Museum and climb Phousi Hill. We'll visit silk and cotton weavers in towns along our route and have an optional silk scarf-dyeing workshop in Luang Prabang. Then we head to Vientiane by private van, through the beautiful hill country of southern Laos; there we will visit several silk weaving workshops to observe their intricate and interesting methods.
We finally fly back to Bangkok and then home.
All in all this will be a fabulous trip, full of variety-welcoming people, beautiful sights, comfortable hotels, and delicious food!
