The Royal Palace (official name "Haw Kham" in Lao pronunciation) in Luang Prabang, Laos, was built in 1904 during the French colonial era for King Sisavang Vong and his family. The site for the palace was chosen so that official visitors to Luang Prabang could disembark from their river voyages directly below the palace and be received there. After the death of King Sisavang Vong, the Crown Prince Savang Vatthana and his family were the last to occupy the grounds. In 1975, the monarchy was overthrown by the communists and the Royal Family were taken to re-education camps. The palace was then converted into a national museum. The Royal Palace is a also collection of the palace's most prized art, including the Phra Bang, cast of a gold, silver and bronze alloy. This Buddha stands at 83 cm tall and weighs around 50 kg. Legend has it that the statue was made around the 1st century in Sri Lanka and was later presented to the Khemer King Phaya Sirichantha, who then gave it to King Fa Ngum in 1359 as a Lao Buddhist leader.

Wat Xieng Thong was built 1559-1560 by the Lao King Setthathirath near where the Mekong and Nam Khan rivers join. Until 1975 the wat was a royal temple under the patronage of the royal family and the Lao kings were crowned in this temple. The wat is considered as representing typical Laos art and craft. The building of the temple have carved gilded wooden doors depicting scenes from Buddha's life. In the shrine the ceiling displays Dharmachakras - dharma wheels symbolising Buddhist law and the circle of reincarnation. The outer walls of the sim depict Lao legends and the rear gable is decorated with a glass mosaic depicting the tree of life. The outer walls of the Sanctuary of the Reclining Buddha, also known as Red Chapel, are decorated with mosaics.

Dating back to 1513 and the reign of King Wisunarat (Visoun), Wat Wisunarat is the oldest temple in Luang Prabang and was once home to the Prabang Buddha. The history of the temple is colourful with it being originally crafted from wood before being burned by Black Haw riders in 1887. The Black Haw riders were part of the Black Flag military rebel group led by a Chinese commander at the end of the 1880s. Post invasion, it was rebuilt using stucco and brick and retains some original pieces including a stupa that was created in 1503 along with some other small Buddha icons although many were stolen during the Haw raid. The Wisunarat temple is home to a small selection of richly gilded Buddhas and some ancient stones dating back to the 15th century. The stones were donated by Prince Phetsarat following the Black Haw bandit invasion. The Haw left with most of the priceless Buddha images made from jade, gold and precious gems by breaking open the stupa. Prior to invasion, Wat Wisunarat was once home to the revered Pha Bang Buddha from 1507 to 1715 which can now be viewed at the Royal Palace Museum.

This cave houses 1,500 Buddha sculptures, between 10cm and 1.50m high.

Vat Phou or Wat Phu (temple-mountain) is a ruined Khmer Hindu temple complex in southern Laos. It is located at the base of mount Phu Kao, some 6 km from the Mekong river in Champasakprovince. There was a temple on the site as early as the 5th century, but the surviving structures date from the 11th to 13th centuries. The temple has a unique structure, in which the elements lead to a shrine where a lingadedicated to Lord Shiva was bathed in water from a mountain spring. The site later became a centre ofTheravada Buddhist worship, which it remains today. The mountain has a natural linga on its peak. Wat Phou was initially associated with the city of Shrestapura, which lay on the bank of the Mekong directly east of mount Lingaparvata (now called Phu Kao). By the latter part of the 5th century the city was already the capital of a kingdom which texts and inscriptions connect with both Chenla and Champa, and the first structure on the mountain was constructed around this time. The mountain gained spiritual importance from the linga-shaped protuberance on its summit; the mountain itself was therefore considered the home of Shiva, and the river as representing the ocean or the Ganges River. The temple was naturally dedicated to Shiva, while the water from the spring which emerges directly behind the temple was considered sacred. Wat Phou was a part of the Khmer empire, centred on Angkor to the southwest, at least as early as the reign of Yasovarman I in the early 10th century. Shrestapura was superseded by a new city in the Angkorianperiod, located directly south of the temple. In the later period, the original buildings were replaced, re-using some of the stone blocks; the temple now seen was built primarily during the Koh Ker and Baphuonperiods of the 11th century. Minor changes were made during the following two centuries, before the temple, like most in the empire, was converted to Theravada Buddhist use. This continued after the area came under control of the Lao, and a festival is held on the site each February. Little restoration work has been done, other than the restoration of boundary posts along the path. Wat Phou was designated a World Heritage Site in 2001.

Bolaven plateau was from the eruption more than 1500 years old. Bolaven makes from the source of ethics group as Laven, Yaheune, Kaleuam, Alak, Ngae and Katu in these minorities are big group as Laven, all of them believe animated religion. Bolaven plateau is an elevated region in southern Laos. The plateau's elevation ranges approximately over 1300 meters above sea level and large about 90 square kilometers. Most of the plateau is located within of Champasak province 50 kilometers is far from Paksong town , cover the edges of the plateau are also located in Attpeau, Sekong and Saravan provinces, high land and cold temperature. Plateau is the source of several rivers and has many scenic waterfalls as Tadfane, Tadnheuang ...etc.

Tadfane is bark deer fall. Three different rivers flow and join together then falls down in twin waterfall to bottom 120m then flowing to Mekhong river. Tadfane located in the area of Bolaven about 9000 square Kilometers , it is far from Pakse 38km. Plateau is surrounding by dense trees and coffee trees in rianny season, some time covers by cloud and hear its voice like thunder.

Because the plateau was from eruption with ample rainfall, cool temperature and rich volcanic soil this is perfect conditions for growing world class coffee. French colonists planted the first coffee trees in Laos around year 1915, but the experiment failed. Another attempt was made in years 1917, when both Arabica and Robusta plants were selected from Saigon's botanical gardens and finally established a successful coffee harvest in Laos in the years 1930.

Pa-Am village located on easthern of Attapeu province, it is far from Attapeu central about 30km, headed out for a day trip to the Pa-Am Village nearly Vietnamese border between Attapeu and Kontum, you have a chance to look at the Vietnam War-era SAM-2 air missile that has somehow miraculously not been sold as scrap. A cluster bomb casing fence had also been built around the missile, which hadn′t been there before. However, with the rapid pace of infrastructure development, at least the missile is now more accessible, and it′s still an impressive sight. The missile was transported from Vietnam to southern Laos after the US had pulled out of the region in 1973, and was intended to guard a main route of the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Pa-Am lay on a number of important branches of the Ho Chi Minh Trail, one of which led east, into South Vietnam, and another branch headed south, into Cambodia. Russian and Vietnamese were writing on the SAM-2 Missile at Pa-Am Village, Attapeu, Laos. It says in Russian “Made in the USSR”. Pa-AM is well worth a visit if you′re in southern Laos.
