Dag-Rune ZThe classic touch from days gone by<br>
<br>
There are still some of these classic German luxury cars spread around in South Asia. A timeless symbol of elegance, money and classic German engineering and design.<br>
<br>
I have seen them in almost every country I have visited in the region. The Mercedes-Benz S280 was produced in this style between 1965 and 1973. Meaning by the end of the Laos Kingdom before it changed into PR Laos.<br>
<br>
Having some well-maintained wooden houses in Southeast Asian style with some French colonial architecture framing this car sort of feels right. It tells a story of a time gone by. And some timeless style and elegance too. <br>
<br>
Luang Prabang has been a World heritage Site since 1995. The city has been a capital in 2 former Laotian kingdoms. It has played a vital role as a religious centre for most of Laos history. There are more than 20 Buddhist pagodas in the city and close vicinity. <br>
<br>
The city is surprisingly small, but the status as royal residence city for centuries makes for a well-designed city with interesting architecture and art. That includes some French inspired buildings, but with a distinct Southeast Asian flare. Local markets, shops and lots of restaurant and cafes contributes to Luang Prabang being a nice and quiet place. Well worth a visit.<br>
