I think a better and less western centric perspective word for this is authentic rather than “undeveloped”.

Luang Prabang has managed to preserve its original character, largely due to its designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in December 1995, which brought about strict laws and measures to control urban development. Key factors that have allowed Luang Prabang to maintain its original state include: • UNESCO World Heritage Status: UNESCO recognizes Luang Prabang as one of the best-preserved examples of traditional architecture and urban layout. • Construction Regulations: Local authorities and the Lao government strictly regulate construction—prohibiting high-rise buildings, restricting certain types of modern retail (for instance, there are no 7-Eleven convenience stores), and mandating that existing structures retain their original architectural form. • A Blend of Two Eras: The town features a harmonious integration of traditional Lao architectural elements—such as the iconic "sweeping" roofs of its many temples (wats)—and colonial-style architecture. • Limited Urban Expansion: As the administrative and economic focus of the country shifted toward Vientiane, Luang Prabang did not undergo significant industrial or large-scale economic development. Consequently, the town has preserved its traditional community lifestyle and the serene, natural environment along the Mekong and Nam Khan rivers.

Lao people are also generally traditional in the sense that they see no need to make these drastic changes to appeal to western audiences or a different lifestyle. They’re perfectly happy as they are and I admire that

Cambodia is where I always return to. The Khmer are a different level of genuine kindness.

Wild, for using a western perspective and called a place ‘underdeveloped’. And especially when peace and quiet become ‘underdeveloped’ too. Haha

The perceived lack tourism has NOTHING to do with how “underdeveloped” it is by the way, which is totally subjective…..
