Lao Hotel Rules
Posted by Stuart at 10:08 AM on January 31, 2006I haven't posted much in the last few days, as I have been in Luang Prabang, Laos, doing a whole lot of nothing. I had originally planned to go to a Lao wedding in Hong Sa, but I wasn't able to go at the last minute. So I spent time in Luang Prabang doing work, reading, walking, and talking to the locals.
When I am in Luang Prabang, I always stay at my friend's family guest house on the Mekong. On the back of the door to every room there is a list of rules that foreign guests are supposed to follow. I have seen this list in every Lao guesthouse I have ever stayed in.
So if you go to Laos, please be sure to follow these rules. (Copied from a photo with spelling, capitalization, and grammar as closely as possible.)
