LUANG PRABANG FAVORITE THINGS:

ESSENTIALS:

Closest ATM to the Hotel:
https://maps.app.goo.gl/jJkxhSxHcphqLDVP6

There are many ATMs around town. If your card doesn’t work at one ATM, try another, as it seems a bit hit and miss which ones work and don’t with your cards. Tip: Whatever the ATM lists as the highest amount is usually the maximum that ATM will let you withdraw. To get larger amounts you’ll usually have to do multiple withdrawals.

Closest Money Exchange (recommended by the hotel staff as the most reputable):
