Running along the right bank of the Nam Khan River, the Apsara Rive Droite has nine huge, glamorous rooms, all with their own veranda or terrace, overlooking the river and the heart of Luang Prabang.  The Apsara Rive Droite is located right opposite the original Apsara on the right bank of the Nam Khan river. The hotel is in the village of Ban Phanluang. The quickest way into town is by our boat.

Please note that the pathway down to the river bank on both sides involves alot of steps down and up. Sturdy shoes are advised.

If you wish to travel by land there are several options; the nearest bridge across the Nam Khan is the “Two Wheels or “Two feet” only bridge, tuk tuks and mini vans have to use the longer route via the main bridge. Sometimes, when the water is at its lowest, a bamboo bridge is built by the villagers across the river. All we can say is that it’s stronger than it looks. In absolutely no circumstance is swimming across advised as only the Lao have the natural defenses against the lurking river germs.

Boat -  The Apsarian Queen was hand built by an expat British boat builder. It is available, free of charge to all Rive Droite guests from the jetty on either side of the Nam Khan river all day and until late at night.

Bicycles -  We have a number of bicycles available for guests to use, ask at reception if you want to reserve one. Cycling around town is safe and fun as long as you remember you are the lowest form of life on the road. The only thing you have priority over is pedestrians and even then not if they are monks or policemen.

Mini van -  If you want to go out for day trips out then the staff will be happy to arrange and negotiate a mini van and driver for you.

The Apsara tuk-tuk -  is our own tuk-tuk that is available for guests. Please tell reception if you wish to book it for a trip into town.
