Mapping Monsieur Mouhot 3day2night Package from Villa Maly

PRLog (Press Release) - Jun. 20, 2011 - Villa Maly a Luang Prabang boutique hotel in Laos PDR is now offering a stunning package for its guests to discover the trail of a Monsieur Mouhot through Southeast Asia in the early 20th Century.

Here is the detail of the Package:

A guide from Villa Maly (http://villa-maly.com/) will usher guests of Mapping Monsieur Mouhot up the Nam Khan River to Mouhot’s otherwise forlorn grave. They’ll travel to the Tad See Waterfall, a cataract that looks today as it would have looked to Mouhot 150 years ago.
And at the end of the day, there’ll be opportunity to ruminate over Mouhot’s legacy while ensconced in Mouhot’s, a bar located in Villa Maly’s historic old villa.

Mouhot’s journals cut no corners as he journeys through Laos, whether he’s finishing off a rhinoceros, or describing the physical attributes or speech of its inhabitants or commenting on the endless chants of the Laotian priests: “Assuredly they ought to go direct to Paradise,” Mouhot writes. As a parting gift , Villa Maly will dispatch guests from Luang Prabang with a copy of Maly’s journals, much in the same way that one of Mouhot’s travel attendants carried his journals back to Bangkok after his death in 1861.
