It was about a 40mins flight from Vientaine To Luang Phrabang on this really small plan of 19 seater if I am not mistaken. Luang use to be a capital for the Lang Xang kingdom in the 14th century and many temples was build around the town. The interesting part of this town is there are many ban or village next to each other in this small town and each ban has it own temple.
