[Read more]In partnership with Villa Merry No 1, Villa Merry Lao Swiss has been working with several schools over the last 3-4 years to help improve the learning conditions and educational support available to young Lao students from villages outside of Luang Prabang city.
Currently they are trying to raise USD7,000 to pay for the refurbishment of an old school in Kialuang Village. This school was originally constructed by the US Embassy in 1974 but has since fallen into disrepair. Funds generated will allow for the replacement of the roof, windows, doors and a new coat of paint for the building. So far USD1500 has been raised. If you would like to help please speak to Mr Samor at the guesthouse.

Nobody told me anything about the program above.
Well... I didn't ask them either. You can't ask for something you don't know or aren't informed, I guess..."

Despite the specific request (and pre-paid) for the airport pick up, there was no one waiting for us at the airport.
I had to make several calls and finally a taxi was arranged.
When I got to the hotel, the taxi driver asked me to pay for the ride, and yet again, I had to go through difficult explanation with both the taxi driver and the reception guy at the hotel (later the reception guy told me that the travel agency (this site?) did not informed him about the request for a taxi...)
Although it was only for two nights, I would not recommand the hotel to anybody at all as there was a very nozy bar in front of the hotel.
You won't be able to sleep until 2 AM with not only the very noizy music from the bar but also the crazy motor bikers making serious noize...
I was just happy that I didn't make the reservation for only two nights (of the one-week schedule)...
After two days, I moved to a cheaper and much nicer guest house a little bit further up to the main street.
Then... I could enjoy the true Luang Prabang..."

My room number was 24. I had a chance to see other rooms, therfore I think #24 is a standard room only but I had to pay for the Deluxe. Did they trick me? Or is it a high season rise?
Can you proove that?
