Lao Spirit Resort

Every stylish bungalow has a huge terrace with a clear view to the river and the mountains beyond. From here you can see daily life for villagers who live beside the Nam Khan • fishing, traveling in longtail and poled boats, collecting riverweed and frogging. In this unique backdrop, the view of the starry sky is amazing, and it can be enjoyed while having an open air shower in each bungalow’s private bathroom extension.

Guests can travel on elephants or in the resort’s boat to Tad Se waterfall cascades, arrange a trek or biking outing, or simply relax. It’s hard to imagine a better spot.

The Thai/German chef team prepares a selected menu of Asian and European specialties for evening meals. With only five bungalows in the resort there is always an intimate ambiance.

Lao Spirit Resort is the starting point for a wide range of nature activities, featuring a two hour elephant ride. In the mornings the resort boat ferries guests to the opposite riverbank for a close up view of the elephants bathing. Guests can take the resort’s longtail boat for a fascinating 15 minute trip to the lovely Tad Se waterfall cascades. A three hour Kayak trip returning to Luang Prabang, and biking and multi day trekking tours can all be booked in advance with the Tiger Trail office in Luang Prabang.

Note: The bungalows and the lodge buildings are set on steep sided banks, and young children should be supervised. A flashlight is a useful accessory for the evening.
