Hello,
My wife and I were married in my friend Pap's home in Luang Prabang in 2002. It was an unbelievably beautiful traditional Lao wedding and was probably the best moment (week!) of my life. Unfortunately, since leaving Laos, we have not been able to get hold of him.
It was certainly challenging to contact him back in 2001-2002 (phone is the only thing that worked, and only twice!) but soon after returning home, we found that even his phone didn't work. We have sent many letters/packages/gifts to what we thought was his address but I'm pretty sure we weren't writing it correctly (it was written in Lao). I have searched the internet for Luang Prabang forums or news groups or ANYTHING that might allow us to get hold of him, but there just doesn't seem to be a good way of finding him.
Does anybody know of any directories, phone-books, or anything that might assist us in figuring out a way of contacting him? I can provide his full name and what may or may not be his address (by PM) if anyone in Luang Prabang thinks they can help out in finding him. Pap and his family did so much to make our wedding absolutely amazing and it breaks our hearts that we haven't been able to so much as send any pictures of the wedding.
Any assistance anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
