Do I need to pack a torch? How well lit are the streets?

Thanks

Hi - the streets are lit - in fact the main 2 tourist streets are lit up like Vegas during the main tourist season which is still on now.

Low-season though (May -Nov) the power goes off about 10pm on the streets, although the guesthouses have their own generators for your room light, and the river restaurants use candles till about 11. Still, a torch is always handy.

Thank you, can you advise how hot and sticky will my visit in mid April be?

I would pack a small torch; there can be power cuts without warning.

That%26#39;s ';flashlight'; for North Americans...don%26#39;t go out buying something out of the Survivor catalog!

Hi I just got back from LP and a Flash light/ Torch is a very good idea. We were caugt in mid town during a power outage and although it didnt last long I was glad I had one. Plus when following the night market trail you end up on non main streets which are not lit. Sidewalks become dubious and walking on the road is inevitable so a torch is essential.
