La Residence Phou Vao

Location
The hotel is in the town of Luang Prabang in Laos (also called Lao PDR). It's on the Phou Vao hill (Hill of Kites) about 1 mile / 2km outside the centre - there's a free transfer service by tuk-tuk (taxi).

By Air:
There are no long-haul flights into Luang Prabang, but there are connections from neighbouring countries including Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Siem Reap and Hanoi, as well as Laos' capital, Vientiane. Follow the links below for more info. In rainy season dense cloud can cause delays, so leave time for connections, especially if moving on to an expensive long-haul flight.

From the airport
The hotel can arrange an airport transfer to pick you up, or tuk-tuks will take you for a few dollars.

Overland from Thailand
From Chiang Rai in northern Thailand, you can travel by bus or car to Chiang Khong on the Mekong river (the border), and then take a boat across to Houei Xai in Laos. From Houei Xai there are boats down river to Luang Prabang (1-2 days), but there are no schedules or safety enforcements, so you should be prepared for an adventure.

Overland from Vientiane
This is a bus journey of 8-9 hours, and not to be underestimated.
