The Luang Prabang Map by ORLA Tours Has Finally Arrived!

After many months of reflection, testing, field research, and conversations with our travelers… we are extremely happy to officially announce the launch of the: Luang Prabang Map by ORLA Tours

And trust us: this is not just another tourist map…

The problem in Luang Prabang: a very touristic city… without a truly updated map

Every year, Luang Prabang welcomes travelers from all over the world. Yet until now, there has been one major problem: there was no modern, complete, and genuinely up-to-date map of the city.

Instead, travelers mostly found:

• outdated maps

• incomplete city guides

• addresses that had closed years ago

• or recommendations that were far too touristy and generic

  
  

As a result, most travelers discover the city more or less randomly.

They try several restaurants before finally finding a truly good one. They pay for disappointing massages. They end up in soulless bars while incredible hidden gems exist just a few streets away.

And honestly… that is a shame.

Because Luang Prabang is full of exceptional places but you still need to know where to find them.

A Map Created by People Who Actually Live in Luang Prabang

That is exactly why we decided to create our own map.

Not a map designed from an office on the other side of the world.

But a map imagined by a team that:

• lives here

• works here

• explores the city every day

• speaks weekly with travelers

• and truly knows the local reality

  
  

For months, we compiled:

✔️ our own discoveries and favorite places

✔️ feedback from our travelers

✔️ the best addresses we personally tested and approved

✔️ places genuinely worth discovering

All to create a simple… yet incredibly effective map.

Don’t Be Misled by Its Simple Appearance…

At first glance, the map may seem simple. But that is exactly its strength.

Every single address featured on it has been carefully selected.

And behind each point on the map lies:

• a genuinely great restaurant

• a hidden-gem café

• a quality massage salon

• a pleasant rooftop bar

• a well-located hotel

• an interesting boutique

• a market worth visiting

• or an essential temple

  
  

In reality, this map condenses months even years of local knowledge. Information that is almost impossible to discover alone in just a few days.

“The Luang Prabang Map That Will Save You Money!”

Yes, that is our slogan. And it perfectly sums up its purpose.

Because in the end, many travelers spend a lot of money… simply by trying the wrong places.

👉 A disappointing massage (average price: 220,000 kip/hour)

👉 An unsatisfying restaurant (average price: 150,000 kip/dish)

👉 An overly touristy bar (average price: 130,000 kip/cocktail)

👉 A bad coffee and croissant (average price: 80,000 kip)

Then another one. And another one. Before finally finding THE right place.

With the Luang Prabang Map by ORLA Tours, you go straight to what matters most:

👉 the best addresses

👉 the real hidden gems

👉 the places only locals truly know

And that changes everything.

And the Best Part?

👉 The map costs only 150,000 kip.

In other words, a single good recommendation is enough to make the map worth it within your first days in Laos.

An Exclusive Focus on the Kuang Si Valley

But we did not stop at Luang Prabang itself.

Because over the years, we also noticed something:

👉 many travelers completely miss everything surrounding the famous Kuang Si Waterfalls.

Yet today, the Kuang Si Valley is far more than just a simple waterfall excursion. It is a true region to explore.

That is why we included a special Kuang Si Valley section on the map, featuring:

• the best accommodations

• recommended restaurants

• activities to discover

• more confidential hidden spots

• and our local recommendations

  
  

Enough to transform a simple half-day waterfall trip… into a real experience.

A Map Designed for Travelers… But Also for Expats

This map is not only for tourists.

It is also perfect for:

• newly arrived expatriates

• digital nomads

• long-term travelers

• or simply people who love Luang Prabang

  
  

Because it helps save precious time.

And above all… avoid tourist traps.
