Royal Palace was built in 1904 during the French colonial era for King Sisavang Vong and his family. This famous place is used to be home of Royal Family, with mixed architecture of traditional Lao motifs and French Beaux Arts styles. Nowadays, it was converted into a National Museum, which displays a lovely collection of the artefacts reflecting the richness of Lao culture dating from the days of the early kings right through to the last sovereign.

The performance of the Phralak Phralam lasts approximately two hours and is held in the theatre of the former Royal Palace of Luang Prabang, which was formerly used as the royal ballroom and reception room. The room can accommodate a great number of people, and in the evening it is specially lighted to great effect. Guests can hear cicadas, crickets and frogs in the palace gardens which echo the sounds of the orchestra. The music accompanies and illustrates the nine dances of the Phralak Phralam. Each evening, two of the nine dances are performed and totality of the performances invoke the ancient royal kingdom of Lane Xang.

– The day of representation can change anytime
– It is forbidden to take photos during the performance so as not to interrupt the dancers. Members of the audience are welcome to take photos at the end of the performance.
