Laos > Places & Sights > Pakse
Pakse is a good starting point for many excursions in south Laos, for example to Champasak and on to Wat Phu, built during the Angkor period. It is the second largest town in Laos, and quite pleasant.
Definitively worth a visit is the market. Watch out for the jumping fish (the fishes in the tubs are kept alive by only a very small quantity of water so they cannot really swim. But from time to time one of them manages to gather enough energy to jump right out of the tub onto the dirty ground of the market. Of course the lady had her hands full to put them back in).
In Pakse there are also some nice Wats.
