This is a family day in Luang Prabang that residents and visiting families can plan around three simple things: the farm, the pool and the playground. The day is booked per adult, and you can add the kids' cooking class for each child when you book, so the children cook in their own class while parents swim. The farm tour shows where the vegetables and herbs for restaurant Roots are grown. After lunch there are smoothies, juices and herbal tea, time in the infinity pool, and the outdoor sports area and playground to finish the afternoon. The Namkhan sits by the Khan River, about 15 minutes from Luang Prabang town by tuk-tuk or taxi, and a free shuttle runs from the city centre — message us on WhatsApp for times and pick-up points.
