Pak Ou Caves
Situated 25km upriver from Luang Prabang at the confluence of the Ou and Mekong rivers are two caves, Tham Ting and Tham Phun, that house countless numbers of Buddah images that have been left over hundreds of years by devotees. The caves are best accessed by boat from LuangPrabang, either a slow boat, that takes about two hours to reach or by speedboat.
Perhaps the most enjoyable way to visit the caves is to take your time and enjoy a quiet lunch at the caves - there is a covered rest area there where you can relax, enkoy lunch and take your time overlooking the Mekong river.
Ban Xang Hai
Near Pak Ou caves, downriver towards Luang Prabang is the village of Ban Xang Hai, famous for its manufacture of rice whiskey. The villagers carry water from the Mekong and use it to soak rice in large jars which sit for several days. The fermented rice yields alcohol which can be drunk as a cloudy liquid, or distilled to make a fire water.
Kuang Si Waterfalls
About 30km south of Luang Prabang, passing through many ethnic minority villages are the magnificent Kuang Sii Waterfalls. There are trails all around the falls and visitors can swim in the lower pools. The falls has a covered area for eating and there are several stalls serving simple Lao food and drink. A full day should be allowed for a trip to the falls. 
Ban Phanom Village
Situated four km from LuangPrabang is a small village famous for its weavings. There is a small market set up here, and you can wander in the village and see village women weaving underneath their homes
