Good hostel for meeting people in Luang PrabangCountry forums / South-East Asia Mainland / Laos | ||
Hello! | ||
I don’t recall seeing any hostel in Luang Prabang. There are all guesthouses and most low end one don’t advertise or online visibility. http://www.travelfish.org/accommodation/laos/northern_laos/luang_prabang/luang_prabang/all | 1 | |
I would doubt you would have any problem meeting people in LP no matter where you stay. | 2 | |
Good question, it's something I don't plan for in my trips but maybe I should start doing so, because over the New Year period while in Cambodia I did experience some social activity in a few of the hostels which was nice. The only thing I can suggest is look through the comments in the hotel booking sites like Agoda etc. I'm a cyclist and get a lot of information from cycling journals, especially accommodation tips so if you've got a particular interest then go search for the blogs that participate in that activity. | 3 | |
The SpicyLaos Backpackers is still there, just under a new name: Lemon Laos Backpackers Hostel | 4 | |
You will find the people staying in hostels are travelling, not the locals. | 5 | |
