Luang Prabang, Laos
This UNESCO World Heritage Site is the former capital of Laos, and you'll see everything from golden-roofed temples to vestiges of colonial French architecture here. Buddhist monasteries abound in Luang Prabang, and early every morning, monks process through the streets collecting alms (their food for the day). If you want to watch or participate, though, ask your hotel for a brief etiquette lesson first—you have to distribute the food in a specific manner.

Beetles, caterpillars, crickets, and more. The Western world may continue to shy away from it, but insects, otherwise known as creepy crawlies, are consumed by over 2 billion people in over 80 countries around the world.
Laos has a long history of insect consumption and the Blue Lagoon in Luang Prabang is a restaurant that is determined to show travellers to the UNESCO world heritage site that insects can be tasty as well as nutritious.

Beautiful Laos has an abundance of glittering temples, many concentrated in the capital Vientiane and in the tourist favorite UNESCO city Luang Prabang. Most are quite easy to access, so you can temple-hop over a day or two in either city, pausing over plates of larb and bottles of Beer Lao to appreciate the different architectural styles.
