Pāksē, Commercial center in Champasak Province, Laos

Pakse sits at the meeting point of the Xedone and Mekong rivers, forming a natural gateway to the southern regions of Laos.

The French administration established an outpost in 1905, transforming Pakse into a significant port city for regional trade and transportation.

The Wat Luang temple complex demonstrates traditional Buddhist architecture with its multi-tiered roofs and ornate decorations typical of southern Laotian religious buildings.

The Dao Heuang Market provides fresh produce, textiles, and local crafts, while numerous food stalls offer traditional Laotian dishes throughout the day.

The Lao Nippon Bridge spans 1,380 meters across the Mekong River, connecting Pakse with Thailand and facilitating international commerce in the region.
