👍👍 Very nice place and the owner is a wonderful girl. The food is amazing. Stuffed chicken without bones with mushrooms, hachapuri, crispy duck … everything is very good quality and big portions

Traditional building with silk samples & weaving demonstrations, plus a shop for handcrafted goods.

Former temple, built in 1565 for the Emerald Buddha (now in Bangkok) & today a museum & shop.

👍👍 An undiscovered gem, I was the only Traveller here. A refurbished traditional house with more information than its National Museum. Learn about their house visiting ceremonies, the morning alms, dress code, instruments to even culinary arts! There is a small cafe with well at the back and a wash ro...

👍👍 Brilliant visit and worth the price. The “museum” is a massive collection of wood carvings of many different subjects on lots of different types of timber. There are also some large scale paintings on slabs of timber. The “contemporary” part is that these are mostly recently completed pieces. If...

👍👍 Great Museum. It is very well laid out, has even small "games" to share more knowledge and also a little theatre on the second floor that shows various Clips of the work MAG is doing including detonating, excavating and removing mines, grenades, cluster bombs etc. Very informative museum and it's fo...

👍 An impressive building with two levels of exhibits of the life and times of Comrade Kaysone Phomvihane. Mainly photographs, but also some personal effects and gifts. It was interesting to understand the cooperation with Vietnam, both against the French and the Americans. There are also displays of e...

😠 Basic and dull museum with some maps and explanations about the site. But the information is no different, or better, than what you can find on the internet. There is no need to stop here on your visit to the site.

👍👍 Beautiful the temple

👍 We enjoyed our visit to the centre visitor very much, as it highlights the work of the charity very well. It is slightly sparse and you can easily see everything to see here within 1 hour. It feels more designed for a school visit and education - not necessarily a bad thing. Having visited here, we...

👍👍 By Classes 3B & 4A This new museum is a must for your itinerary. It gives you a great overview of the province, the people and its history. Make sure you plan at least 1 hour for your visit, longer if you want to watch the films. You will not be disappointed! The museum is set in a very new Lao-s...

👍👍 เป็นวัดที่มีชื่อเสียงของแขวงสะหวันนะเขต เป็นวัดที่มีปัตยกรรมโบราณสถานหลายอย่างและเป็นที่ทำงานของคณะบริหารงานขันแขวงเป็นที่อยู่ของชเจ้าคณะจังหวัด (จึงได้มีชื่อว่า วัด "ใหญ่" ชัยภูมิ)ที่เรียกกันว่าวัดใหญ่ก็เพาะเป็นที่ทำงานของเจ้าคณะนั่นเอง.

👍👍 この地域一帯に住む山岳民族のことが詳しく紹介されています。 建物自体も美しいです。 入場料は一人10,000キープ。

👍👍 Very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. It was a beautiful site to see. The presentations were very well put together. We also got a chance to tour the inside of the plant. That's lots of information here for students to grasp and learn how a Hydropower Plant really works.

Established in 1976, this museum features exhibits on Laotian military history from 1950 to 1975.

🫤 Didn't seem like anyone was working here, or, for that matter, wanted to actually work when I visited (May 23, 2017).

👍👍 A museum hall that preserves ancient artifacts, handicrafts, and other ancient Buddha images. and equipment during the war
