Best time to visit Luang Prabang
For the ideal opportunity to discover Luang Prabang, visit between the rainy season of May to October. While this is the wettest time of the year, there are still plenty of periods with wonderful sunshine. The cooler temperatures bring fewer tourists than in the dry season (November to April), meaning you can get to know this ancient city at your own pace. Between September and October, you can enjoy the exciting event of dragon boat races on the Nam Khan River, which brings in many competitors from the surrounding villages.
