Laos 6-day Luxury Cultural Tour and Photography Workshop with Richard Se

10 to 15 October 2019

Luang Prabang, Laos
 

An Invitation from Richard Se

A captivating picture of the golden facade of Wat Mai inspired me to visit Luang Prabang, a UNESCO World Heritage town in Laos, for the first time more than 20 years ago. Over the years, I found myself going back numerous times, while working with local hotels and resorts, to photograph what the beautiful and historical town has to offer.

Luang Prabang has changed over the years as she welcomes more and more tourists, but she has not lost her charms, especially in the heritage town on the peninsula.

I warmly invite you to join me on this cultural journey and photography workshop from 10 to 15 October 2019. This is one of the best time to visit Luang Prabang as the town is celebrating the end of the Buddhist Lent with the annual Festival of Lights.

Throughout the whole tour, you will stay in a luxurious heritage 2-storey colonial villa with a private pool in a beautiful garden. There are only 4 exclusive suite rooms in the villa, so the group will be limited to a maximum of 8 persons only.

I hope to share this unforgettable experience of Luang Prabang's rich architecture and culture with you through our common love for photography.
