Luang Prabang Private Tours & Local Tour Guides

Bounthan S.

"Sabaidee, Hi" I am Bounthan, Born and raised in Luang Prabang, Laos. Luang Prabang is exceptional for both its rich architectural and artistic heritage that reflects the fusion of Lao traditional urban architecture with that of the colonial era. Its remarkably well-preserved townscape reflects the alliance of these two distinct cultural traditions. Luangprabang is deeply connected to me. What I love most about the town there are more than a hundred of temples in this little town and I used to be a novice-monk in between 2008-2010 in Luangprabang as well which I have gained so much knowledge and education from being a novice, such as understanding about living life in better way, calmness, kindness and being respectful to all creatures. I would be really happy to share my ex-novice experienced with all of you who would be interested in Buddhist religious and culture as well. I always feel grateful to return back to the temple to help foreigners to learn more about Buddhism. Thanks to the temple my life has completely turned around. Let me be your guide and share with you both of interesting sites and the spirit of the local. Above all, I strive to live by my values of creativity, integrity, and compassion, knowing that success is not just about what we achieve for ourselves but also what we contribute to the world around us.
