Relaxing Pakse nestled in spectacular scenery has rapidly become the commercial centre in the southern part of Laos. Pakse is the capital city of Champasak province with population of at least 70,000. Surrounded by high mountains and tucked away from outside influences, the city of Pakse still looks every much Lao in every way.

The best time to visit this enchanting southern city is during dry season where endless beautiful beaches can be founded along clean and clear Mekong River. The Mekong River flows through the heart of the city. Pakse literally means the meeting point of two rivers. They are Mekong River and Se Don River.
