After spending too much time drinking beer, I decided I should actually do something in Luang Prabang. So I took a ferry across the Mekong River to explore a more traditional way of life.
Driven to drink by boredom and depression, disappointing Luang Prabang had a big surprise in store.
Tak bat in Luang Prabang is supposed to be a sacred ceremony. But from what I saw, tourism has almost ruined this ancient practice.
