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.
