Pakse
Pakse (also known as Pakxe) is a relatively new city, having been founded by the French in 1905. The name of the city means "Mouth of the river Se"). Pakse is the capital of Champasak province and the main gateway in Southern Laos, and gives access to the Bolaven plateau to the east and to the Si Phan Don region to the south. Since the construction of a bridge over the Mekong (built with Japanese aid), which improves the traffic flow to Thailand (Ubon Ratchathani), Pakse has become the commercial centre of southern Laos.
