Pakse

Capital of Champasak province, southern Laos, situated at the confluence of the Mekong and Se Don rivers; population (2007 est) 100,600. The hinterland is rich in hardwoods, and tea is grown. The town has sawmills, brick and tile factories, and an agricultural experimental station. Electricity is supplied by the Selabam Dam on the Se Don River.

Pakse was founded by the French in 1905 as an administrative outpost, and until 1970 was the port of entry to Laos.

We are running out of time and unfortunately we mistook the exact dates for Pii Mai and didn't book the earlier flight to Siem Reap in Cambodia because everything was closed so we now are leaving on Friday and have a couple of days to burn (or bake from the heat) in Pakse where we fly out of.
Siem Reap Airways flight routes include Phnom Penh, Bangkok, Laung Prabang, Siem Reap, Hong Kong and Pakse (Laos).
