Luang Prabang Nightlife

What to Do at Night in Luang Prabang

Luang Prabang Nightlife

Luang Prabang is not a destination for those who want to spend their evenings getting messed up and days recuperating from the previous night’s shenanigans. That’s not to say it can’t be fun and as wild as you want to make it.

Luang Prabang is decidedly morning orientated – the majority of the locals are in bed for 22:00, rising at 05:00. Staggering home with last night's clothes on while this is happening is not such a great idea. There are, however, a few small establishments that stay open past midnight where conversation and beer flow in harmony.
