s my car ascends the hillock called Phou Vao, or “Kite Hill”, I arrive at the most charming hotel in Luang Prabang, or perhaps even Laos. Checking in at this sanctuary of peace and comfortable luxury feels akin to arriving at home.

Stepping out, I notice at once that service standards here are considerably high. I have barely taken a step before bellmen are whisking my luggage away and I’m escorted to the hand sanitizing station, automated temperature check, and then ushered to the open-air bar while being checked in. Sitting on a comfortable rattan sofa upholstered in soft local cotton, my attention is evenly torn between the fully-stocked bar, worthy of Ernest Hemingway, and the inviting infinity pool with views of the golden stupa atop Phousi Mountain in the center of Luang Prabang. Choices, choices.

The hotel has 34 beautiful rooms full of Lao textiles, beautiful rosewood floors, modern amenities, and a peaceful veranda complete with a day bed to while away the hours gazing over the UNESCOprotected city. Acting on good advice, I booked the Mountain Pool View Junior Suite which offered me the incredible juxtaposition of both pool and stupa. I ultimately ventured into the cool waters of the peacock-colored infinity pool, as the attendant dashed to bring me a towel and a cool drink.

A hotel this scenic, well-planned, and luxurious, without being pretentious, is incredibly unique.

Striking blooms of flowers and trees lining the walkways nearly obscure other buildings, so that I nearly forgot anyone else was staying here. The gardens near the bar are also a gathering spot near an evening campfire, perfect for cool winter nights, and to swap stories with other fortunate travelers who have found their way to this hidden gem.

In another area of the garden, several waiters were setting up for the hotel’s famed 500 Candle Dinner for a pair of newlyweds traveling through Laos on their honeymoon. Enjoying a gourmet meal under the stars with the glow of that many candles really creates a romantic one-of-akind experience.

At the recommendation of the hotel staff, I downloaded the Belmond app onto my phone. It is a treasure trove of information and functionality. From the app, I can schedule a relaxing spa treatment, chat to the reception desk, book tour services, or even order room service. This app is definitely the vanguard of hotel services in Laos.

Luang Prabang is one of the world’s best places to relax and do nothing. But when the urge to action compels you, the hotel has an array of perfect experiences to try.

You might enjoy exploring the secrets of Lao cuisine and learn to cook it under the guidance of an expert chef. Or, if you travel at my pace, a relaxing sunset cruise allows you to appreciate the quiet pleasures of the Mekong River. And as the sky changes from brilliant blue to the flaming red of dusk, I wonder if I can just stay here forever?

ecently, a group of Lao photographers embarked on a very ambitious adventure on motorbikes and in 4WD vehicles from Vientiane to Don Khon and back over a very difficult route during the rainy season. The aim was to highlight domestic travel within southern Laos in a new and ambitious way while showcasing truly unseen destinations.

Originally planned to cover Vientiane Capital, Xaysomboun, Xieng Khouang, Bolikhamxay, Khammouan, Savannakhet, Salavan, Sekong, Attapeu, and Champasak provinces, the plan had to be revised due to some travel restrictions. The entire route spanned 9 days, 9 provinces, and a whopping 2,999km. Enjoy these photos and be inspired to make your own adventure in Laos!

NEW FUTURE FOR

ANCIENT HERITAGE The U.S. Ambassador preserves the Plain of Jars TEXT BY JASON ROLAN PHOTOGRAPHS BY THE EMBASSY OF THE UNITED STATES IN VIENTIANE AND PHOONSAB THEVONGSA

n the misty mountains of northeastern Laos lies a high plateau with a cool, dry climate unlike any other in Laos. The weather isn’t the only unique feature of Xieng Khouang; it is also the home of mysterious stone jars crafted by an ancient civilization for an unknown purpose.

First studied by Madeleine Colani in the 1930s, the secret origin of the jars remains a mystery. To this day the jars are scattered over multiple sites around the area and sizes and shapes vary from one-meter tubes to giant three-meter. Nearby Phou Keng seems to be the quarry site for most of the jars, but how they were carved and transported 10-20 km to their present locations? Visit Xieng Khouang and make your own conclusions.

31

While in 2019, the area did receive UNESCO World Heritage Site status and protection, decades of war and centuries of erosion have caused deterioration. Thankfully, help is on the horizon with support from the U.S. Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP), this important area will be conserved for generations to come.

On a recent visit to the Plain of Jars, U.S. Ambassador to Laos, Dr. Peter Haymond, officially announced the generous $129,000 grant at a ceremony, attended by Vice Governor of Xieng Khouang Province, Mr. Sivilay Sengchaleun; Vice Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism Mr. Ounethouang Khaophanh; and representatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other officials.

“I am happy to be part of the continued preservation of this impressive, historic site,” said Ambassador Haymond. “These megalithic jars are testimony to the rich cultural traditions in Laos, going back thousands of years. As we celebrate the 5th Anniversary of the U.S.-Lao Comprehensive Partnership, and the 20th anniversary of the AFCP program here in Laos, we remain committed to working with the Lao people and government in all aspects of cultural preservation and socio-economic development.”

The AFCP Plain of Jars grant project has three main components: the establishment of a database and GIS system to develop and maintain an inventory of jars and jar sites; conservation and restoration of damaged jars and lids; and capacity-building among local staff and authorities responsible for the World Heritage sites in the area.

With this support and preservation, these archeological sites will not be lost to the elements, nor time. Lao people and international travelers will be able to visit this legendary plateau, see the Plain of Jars, and perhaps fully unlock the mystery of their origin and purpose.

MORE INFO This year marks the 20th anniversary of the AFCP program worldwide, as well as in the Lao PDR. The Ambassadors Fund supports projects around the world to preserve a wide range of cultural heritage in less developed countries, including historic buildings, archaeological sites, ethnographic objects, paintings, manuscripts, and indigenous languages and other forms of traditional cultural expression.

VangVieng

T

he Academy Training Hotel and Restaurant is part of Vientiane Province Technical College, offering students of tourism and hospitality programs a unique practical training environment in the heart of beautiful Vang Vieng. Staffed by students, these budding young professionals are overseen by their teachers and an international management team while developing their core skills and

preparing to enter the workforce. Developed to provide a "real-world" hotel environment, The Academy provides students with a unique practical training opportunity by interacting and working with actual restaurant and/or hotel customers. Students are prepared to become future hospitality workers, providing the industry with a cohort of well-trained, enthusiastic graduates.

At the close of the 2020–2021 academic year, 99 students graduated from the tourism and hospitality programs.

The aspiring young professionals graduated from three different majors, namely Travel Agency and Tour Operations, Hotel Operations, and Restaurant Operations.

Depending on their chosen major, students gained specific practical insights at The

35

Academy – for instance, amongst a variety of experiences, future tour operators were given the opportunity to provide recommendations on worthwhile local attractions to clients at the front desk, hotel operations students took care of managing the hotel’s meeting room bookings, and restaurant chefs-to-be learned a variety of local and international recipes inside The Academy’s state of the art kitchen.

“I still remember my first day here at The Academy, surrounded and astounded by all these new utensils and appliances, when we were shown by the teachers how to make pizza dough and then instructed to give it a try ourselves”, Khambai Vongsodsavanh, a freshly minted restaurant operations graduate, recalls enthusiastically. It is this sort of excitement for their chosen professions that The Academy has kindled not only in Khambai, but also her many peers. “Each day and each customer is different – you never know what requests might come your way”, reveals Bounta Bounpany, who wants to become a tour operator and manned the front office at The Academy. “But I want to be prepared as best as I can. For example, I spend my free time researching the latest sites and attractions in and around Vang Vieng, so that I can point them out to visitors.”

1

“EACH DAY AND EACH CUSTOMER IS DIFFERENT – YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT REQUESTS MIGHT COME YOUR WAY” While The Academy will employ some alumni of the college as mentors to new students, many of them are now also looking forward to finding jobs in the tourism and hospitality sector in and around Vang Vieng to become more independent and support their families with their income.

Their outlook? Optimistic. ‘I think businesses will always be looking for people who are willing to go the extra mile. If you are an excellent professional, businesses will find a way to recruit you’’, says Khambai confidently.

For anyone who wants to help shape the next cohort of young Lao tourism professionals, a stay, a meeting, or a meal at The Academy would be one of the best ways to accomplish just that. The hotel, with rooms available from 150,000 LAK per night (incl. breakfast), offers six charming guest bedrooms equipped with a private balcony, bathroom, A/C, LCD TV, WiFi, and complimentary tea/ coffee making facilities. The Academy restaurant uses the freshest ingredients to offer delicious international and local cuisine.

The Academy can also accommodate meetings and events tailored to your needs. With different setups available, meetings can be arranged for a maximum of 50 people and private dining/boardroom meetings for up to 30 people.

Dual-Cooperative Training (DCT) Service Center Our youth, Our future, It is my business Context The DCT Service Center was established in 2020 in the Lao National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LNCCI). Based on the successful model of Dual Training in Germany, DCT is an innovative approach that combines schoolbased training in TVET institutions with workplace-based training and experience in companies.

The service center provides tailor-made services to support businesses with the planning, organisation and implementation of DCT. Through this linkage, companies provide trainees with the opportunity to acquire technical skills, knowledge and the right work attitude on the job. As a result, they benefit from a better trained, productive and loyal workforce while reducing recruitment and induction costs.

“

With more than 500 member companies and direct links to associations as well as provincial chambers of commerce and industry, LNCCI is the voice of the Lao business sector. The availability of qualified human resources is a key precondition for successful businesses. DCT has the potential to improve the readiness of young students to enter the job market by already integrating them in core business processes during their training time at companies.

Mr. Oudet Souvannavong, President of LNCCI

“

”

Through the DCT Service Center LNCCI provides leadership and support to the development of the TVET sector with DCT as the preferred training approach and qualification pathway. The DCT Service Center provides member companies with a range of services to prepare them for a smooth implementation of DCT.
