Vat Xieng Thong, Luang Prabang - Laos.
Sent by myself to my wife. This postcard was written and stamped in Vientiane, but was postmarked in Luang Prabang. I met Edith, a German lady in Vientiane and she assisted me in mailing the postcard from Luang Prabang. Thanks Edith for the postmark of Luang Prabang.
