The Last Shangrala: Luang Prabang,
By "zolaa" (Bangkok, Thailand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Old Luang Prabang (Images of Asia) (Hardcover)
Old Luang Prabang (French transliteration from Lao is in fact Louang Phrabang) is an excellent presentation of the rituals, culture, and deep spiritualism of the Lao people. The author is not known to me, but had indeed done considerable primary research, and uncovered facts and depth that was unknown to me, even after having had a close association with Laos and Luang Prabang for over 30 years. The book is not for a novice, but for one who is interested in appreciating the culture and spiritualism of a beautiful, charming, and undiscovered Lao people. The book looks beyond Lao Buddhism, and examines the more natural and indigenous aspects of Lao traditions and social norms. An excellent read for anyone truly interested in a more meaningful experience during a visit to one of the world's last Shangrala's.
