It was already well-known because Pakse has the famous Li Phi and Khone Phapheng waterfalls that everyone knows. Pakse is in Champasak Province, where the Xe Don River flows into the Mekong River. The Mekong River enters Laos near Khong Chiam, Ubon Ratchathani Province.
Then it flows past Pakse before heading south of the country, forming the great Li Phi waterfalls in the south before entering Cambodia. Most tour groups don’t stay here long and might miss some great attractions. Today is my third day in Pakse. Walking around and talking with locals has helped me get to know Pakse better. Pakse really has a large Vietnamese community. Many shops and hotels are owned by Vietnamese people.
But when I say Vietnamese speaking, I mean people of Lao nationality born in Laos who still speak Vietnamese because their families speak it. If you’ve been to Ubon, you can relate—there are many Vietnamese people around the main market there. Thai people often call Vietnamese 'Yuan,' which isn’t wrong, but the polite term is 'Vietnamese.' This is a tip someone told me. Continuing about Pakse, Vietnamese people live around Phon Bok.
If you walk around there, no one speaks Lao; it feels like being in Vietnam with the food and language. Pakse is a relatively new city because the original Lao people lived in Champasak, and the French built the new city at Pakse. This is why the houses and buildings clearly show French influence. Mr.Hotsia recommends that if you visit Pakse, walk a lot. Walk along the Xe Don River flowing into the Mekong, then follow the Mekong south toward the bridge crossing from Ubon.
Or you can turn left first to visit Phon Bok to get closer to the people of Pakse and know them better. The people of Pakse are lovely. I sat and chatted in many shops and even visited homes to talk. Traveling like this will make your trip to Pakse more enjoyable. Pakse has a very large morning market called Dao Rueang Market. It serves the strongest coffee I’ve ever had—Pakse black coffee.

When traveling in Thailand, I always look for accommodation with wifi, but in Laos, it’s not necessary because 3G is widely available. Read more about Laos 3G. Besides traveling by car from Ubon, you can also fly directly to Pakse. There is an airport here. Almost every province in Laos has an airport. Regarding hotels in Pakse, there are many options starting at 200 baht per night for fan rooms. Air-conditioned rooms start at 350 baht per night.
Hotels on main roads start at 450 baht per night. Better, larger hotels cost around 700 baht per night. For food in Pakse, street stalls away from the Sang Arun hotel area charge about 10,000 kip per dish. On main roads, prices rise to about 20,000 kip per dish. Fried rice with basil is easy to find in many places in Pakse, so don’t worry about going hungry. Mr.Hotsia, late 2011, recommends hotels in downtown Pakse, the Pakse morning market, and Dao Rueang Market.
