Champasak Province, Administrative province in southern Laos

Champasak Province spans 15,415 square kilometers along the Mekong River, featuring both mountain ranges and lowland plains with numerous coffee plantations.

The province formed part of the Khmer Empire from the 10th to 13th centuries before becoming a separate kingdom in 1707 after the Lan Xang Empire dissolution.

Each year during the third lunar month, Wat Phou Festival brings together local communities for elephant racing, cockfighting, and traditional Lao performances.

The capital Pakse connects to Thailand through the Lao Nippon bridge, constructed in 2002, facilitating regional trade and transportation networks.

The Khone Phapheng Falls, located within the province, form the largest waterfall complex by water volume in Southeast Asia.
