2 Best Sights in Laos

Pakse's history museum displays stonework from the famous Wat Phou in Champasak, handicrafts from the Bolaven Plateau ethnic groups, and locally made musical instruments.

Recently relocated to the outskirts of the city, this building aims to outline the "official" version of Lao history with some interesting geological and historical displays. Exhibits touch on Laos's ancient past, its colonial years, and its struggle for liberation. Other highlights include details about the country's 50 main ethnic groups, along with indigenous instruments that illustrate how they make music.
