Luang Prabang is well known for its ancient Buddhist temples and monasteries

   Situated in north central Laos, where the Nam Khan River meets the Mekong River, Luang Prabang is notable as a UNESCO world heritage site, and well known for its ancient Buddhist temples and monasteries. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1995, the town was described by the global body as "an outstanding example of the fusion of traditional architecture and Lao urban structures with those built by the European colonial authorities in the 19th and 20th centuries. Its unique, remarkably well-preserved townscape illustrates a key stage in the blending of these two distinct cultural traditions." Most people like in their Laos tour.

Some Cafes and restaurants
    Books and Tea L'Etranger - downstairs is a book shop/swap and upstairs is a bar selling drinks and cake in a room covered in cushions for lazing around and reading. Movies everyday at 19:00. A tad greedy and unfriendly on the book exchange business.
    The Bowling Alley on the edge of the town is the unlikely centre for after-curfew revelry. Serves Beerlao and whisky well into the early hours of the morning to a raucous backpacker crowd, and also happens to be a bowling alley (20,000 kip per person per game after midnight). Even the addition of lanes doesn't seem to have dented the emphasis on drinking. This is invariably reached by crowds of people sharing tuk-tuks, which cluster around the bottom end of Phousi Rd around the time the bars close.
    Hive Bar, Phousi Road.. closes 11:30pm sharp. Established, Americanised and highly popular watering hole, with cosy brick-lined rooms and an outside terrace. Notable for their ethnic fashion shows at 19:00. most days of the week and their range of Lao Lao cocktails. Not remotely Lao style, manager dont even let the staff speak their mother tongue.  edit
    Lao Lao Garden and the adjacent Lao Lao Bar, Phousi Road.. closes 22:30. Popular with the backpacker crowd - in addition to their acclaimed food, it is marketed as a place to "drink like a fish for the price of water".  edit

Wat Benchamabophit Dusitvanaram is a famous Buddhist monument of Bangkok

Wat Benchamabophit Dusitvanaram, or Wat Benchamabophit is a famous Buddhist monument of Bangkok.Popularly referred to as ‘The Marble Temple’ and one of the major tourist attraction of Bangkok. Thailand tour

Noted for its construction in Carrana marble, Wat Benchamabophit was built during the reign of King Rama V. Its design is different from many temples in that it utilises stained glass and other aspects more common to western religious structures. The temple houses a number of bronze Buddha images and it is decorated with beams covered in gold leaf. Worth a visit if you have plenty of time, if not, probably best to concentrate on some of the main sites.
Located on Si Ayutthaya Road, Wat Benjamabopit is tricky to get to by public transport. Possibly the fastest way to get there is Express Boat to Tewet pier and a taxi the rest of the way. If you want to go all the way by taxi the fare will be 80-90 Baht from central Bangkok depending on traffic.
