UNESCO gem where monks still walk at dawn
A French-colonial town at the confluence of two rivers, lined with gilded wats and bakeries — famous for its dawn alms-giving ceremony and slow, temple-scented pace.
Signature local dishes worth seeking out.
Walkable center; tuk-tuks and boats for excursions.
Observe alms-giving respectfully from distance — don't photograph with flash.
Very safe.
Low-key — wine bars and the night market wind down early.
