Sadly Lindale it has a little, you'd notice quite a difference, especially where the huge old morning market was where there is now a shopping mall, and down on the banks of the river where the food stalls set up on evening, theres a road running right along the riverbank and a concrete park between the shops and the road. Its awful ! Luang Parabang is a tourist hell hole....still manages to retain its small town charm though !
Thanks for taking the time to comment :-)
