A city of mist-laced mornings and golden twilight, tucked into northern Laos at the confluence of the Mekong and Nam Khan rivers, LUANG PRABANG is one of few places left in the world where time is measured not in minutes or hours, but in the slow rhythm of saffron-robed monks’ gentle footsteps at dawn. Also in the forty-ninth issue of The Cultured Traveller, Kevin Pilley explores the island of CAPRI, where sheer limestone cliffs plunge into sapphire waters, ancient villas whisper scandalous secrets, and winding paths and climbing steps lead to breathtaking vistas; celebrated British street artist DAN KITCHENER, takes time out of painting murals around the world, to talk about the inspiration for his striking, neon-soaked works; and dedicated foodie, Joe Mortimer, steps off Horse Guards Avenue for an evening at MAURO COLAGRECO AT RAFFLES LONDON ‒ the first UK outpost of the much-awarded Argentine chef, where menus shift with the British seasons and humble vegetables are the stars of the show.
