Say goodbye to Siem Reap, fly to Luang Prabang, and unlock a new country: Laos🇱🇦
Explore Laos, "Buddha" is undoubtedly a key word. Buddhism has existed and developed on this land long before the establishment of the Lancang Kingdom. After 1353, King Faang, who unified Laos, introduced Theravada Buddhism from Cambodia and made Buddhism the state religion, ushering in a vigorous era of Buddhist development.
The ancient city of Luang Prabang, a world heritage site, is the birthplace of Theravada Buddhism in Laos. After thousands of years, Buddhism has left a deep imprint on this city.
Avani+ in Luang Prabang is a two-story luxury hotel with 53 modern classic rooms, inspired by the traditional Laotian and French colonial architecture in the town. The history of the venue dates back to 1941, when it was a French officer's dormitory, and was converted into the Phu Si Hotel by the Lao government in 1961.
Aman founder Adrian Zecha is particularly fond of Luang Prabang. He feels that Jakarta, Singapore and Hong Kong, where he has lived, are becoming more and more fast-paced and modern, and only Luang Prabang gives him the feeling of living in Indonesia as a child. In addition to Amantaka and his private residence, the first hotel of the new brand Azerai was also opened in Luang Prabang in 2017. It is the predecessor of Avani+, so Avani+ is known as the Little Aman.
