Luang Prabang Gay Guide
Luang Prabang is a UNESCO World Heritage site. With cobble stone streets and French influence throughout. Setting between two rivers, it has much charm that needs to be explored. The police there don’t allow anything that relates to sex (straight or gay), and the streets tend to close up my midnight. There are several clubs that the gays hang out at, and a few after hours places that only the Lao know about. But you can ask at your hotel, everyone is gay friendly. You can cruise along the river and meet some very nice Lao men. So enjoy yourself!
