Hello,
My wife and I were married in my friend'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--twice!) but soon after returning home, we found that 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?
Any ideas you may have would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Yep, Facebook, Yahoo.groups, local Lao forums/news groups, mail, phone....I'm really running out of ideas! It sounds crazy but the only thing I can think of is to go there but I would have to save up money for a year to be able to do that! I figure there must be somebody there who knows him and hopefully they'll see this post. He used to be a tuk-tuk driver, so he's pretty well-known by many of the tourists who pass through there. He's just about the nicest person I've ever met, so I figure he must have left an impression on somebody who's lived in or visited Luang Prabang.

The Facebook name is exactly this Expat Luang Pre Bang
You will have to ask to join, explain what you are doing and she will let you on. It will take a few days. You could post the name here and someone might read it as locals read this page. I would suggest your names and theirs. Good Luck.

Wow, just saw this--sorry for not responding sooner!
I love that idea! I had no idea there was a Facebook page for the Laos Expat Forum! Will be sending a request today.
Thank-you to everyone for the replies and the great suggestions. You are giving me hope that I may just be able to find him without actually flying half-way around the world!
