Description

Immerse yourself in the culture of Luang Prabang with a traditional clothing photoshoot. Dress in Lao, Hmong, or Tai Lue clothing and capture stunning photos at temples and the Mekong River.
Immerse yourself in the rich culture of Luang Prabang with a traditional clothing photoshoot. Choose from two itinerary options, each offering a unique experience.

For the Temple and River Focus option, meet at the Ock Pop Tok Living Crafts Centre and choose from a selection of traditional outfits, including the Sinh set, Hmong embroidery, or Tai Lue traditional wear. Receive professional help with proper wearing techniques.

Travel to Wat Xieng Thong by tuk-tuk and capture your first shots at the Golden Tree of Life mosaic wall, Sim (ordination hall) doorways, and temple gardens.

Next, take a short walk to the Mekong Riverbank near the temple, where traditional longtail boats provide a stunning backdrop. As the sun begins to set, move to the French Colonial buildings on Sakkaline Road, where the contrast of traditional dress against colonial architecture creates a striking image.

Finally, head to the Bamboo Bridge (if in season) or Nam Khan Riverbank for silhouette shots against the river, and capture final shots in the alleyways near the Old Quarter. Return to the starting point, change, and receive digital previews of your photos.

For the Morning Cultural Immersion option, meet at Phousy Market and choose your outfit at a nearby shop or studio. Capture the vibrant morning market, with vendors in traditional wear and colorful produce stalls.

Next, visit Wat Mai Suwannaphumaham during morning chanting time, where the gilded walls are bathed in soft light. Continue to traditional wooden houses along the river for more serene shots.

Finally, visit a weaving demonstration at Ock Pop Tok or a similar location, capturing action shots with looms and natural dye gardens. End with final portraits in a garden setting and enjoy a fresh coconut drink as you receive your digital transfers.
