Climbing the 355 steps of Phousi (also spelled Phou si) Hill in Luang Prabang was a top item on our Laos adventure checklist, but we hadn’t anticipated the rain that accompanied our climb. I love the rain, just not when I’m hiking or climbing steps that are prone to be slippery. It was a memorable and enchanting experience nonetheless. And the view didn’t disappoint either. Phousi Hill, also known as Mount Phousi, is centrally located in Luang Prabang, Laos. This sacred hill is adorned with numerous Buddhist shrines, temples, and statues, making it a prominent religious site for Buddhists in the region. It is a serene sanctuary for meditation and prayer and a popular tourist destination for exercise, and a great city view.

There are a couple of cute cafes within walking distance of Camp Walker’s gate 6, but none of them stay open past 10pm until now. The party doesn’t start until 9pm at Madeleine Apsan Cafe located on Cafe (7th) Street– it’s a great option for yummy coffee and a late night sweet treat.

I enjoy visiting cafes near waterfalls, but it’s different this time. In Chiang Mai, there are several beautiful waterfalls created by Mother Nature. However, the city also boasts some that have nothing to do with nature. Many of these artificial waterfalls are at Danteqada Land of Angels Water Park. To switch things up, we decided to check out a Dantewada Land of Angels Waterfall Park with a cafe (yes, you read that right!) because it’s conveniently located on our route to Mon Jam, our destination for the day.
