Visit the Plain of Jars, a mysterious collection of thousands of enigmatic jar-shaped stones scattered across the countryside of central Laos. Some of the jars are standing isolated whilst others huddle together in clusters. It is still unclear where these jars came from but bas relief carvings and paintings determine they are thousands of years old. Next, learn about the history of the region during the Vietnam War.
The Plain of Jars was the most bombed area in Laos, the most bombed country during the conflict! See how the locals turned the remnants of dropped bombs into houses, farm tools, ornaments and kitchenware, showing the incredible entrepreneurial nature of the Laotian people.
