👀 Sounds like an intense experience. I'm glad your second night was softer.

Thanks, yeah, I was relieved too.

Spirits need orange Fanta. This is a documented fact. They would have left you alone if you’d left a bowl of it outside your door.

I was in Luang Prubang about a month ago and I think you captured the feeling of the city perfectly. It was my favourite place in Laos, very peaceful. Thankfully I wasn't haunted by any spirits during my stay, only by a few backpackers I kept bumping into.

Some backpackers do have a way of haunting, though. I'm glad you enjoyed it, it's my favorite city in Laos as well. Enjoy your travels.

Wow, what an amazing story! And beautifully written. I wonder what ghosts were lurking in your annex. Thanks for sharing your experience! The part about the tourists from Thailand with their elephant pants made me laugh. I bought an elephant sarong haha.

Thank you so much! Haha, no judgment here, elephant prints are pretty much everywhere in Southeast Asia. Hard to resist.
