This video is all about Pakse & Things to do in Pakse.
Pakse (Pakxe) is the capital city of Champasak province of Southern Laos, and the 2nd most populous in the country, serving as a major transport and commerce hub for southern Laos. If you plan to go to the Bolaven Plateau, Wat Phou, Si Phan Don (4,000 Islands), the Xe Pian National Protected Area, or Lao Ngam and Tadlo in neighbouring Salavan province. Pakse is an ideal base with its relaxing atmosphere on the Mekong and Sedona Rivers, friendly locals, ubiquitous riverside restaurants and bars, and numerous massage clinics.

Things to do in Pakse, South Laos;-
Pakse is a good base for travel to the Bolaven Plateau where coffee fields and waterfalls galore await, the idyllic river islands of Si Phan Don, also known as 4,000 Islands, eco-tours, trekking and village stays in Sepian National Protected Area, the Angkor temple complex Wat Phou, and to the indigenous villages and waterfalls of the Tad Lo area of Lao Ngam district, Salavan province. Pakse itself makes for a great staging point for archaeological tourists in this part of Laos for two reasons: 1) it is where the Champasak Provincial Museum is located as an introduction to local archaeology, and 2) it is an alternative to Champasak city as a staging point for those wanting to see Wat Phou.Wat Phou is a designated UNESCO site and boasts of as Laos’s counterpart to Angkor Wat/Angkor Thom: its the finest of its type outside Cambodia.
Bolaven Plateau - rent a motorbike. All roads are in good condition by Laos standards, no need for an off-road or performance bike, a Honda Wave is easily enough even with a passenger. All places that offer motorcycle rental will provide maps. Average time to complete the loop is 2-3 days, but it could be done in one if you don't plan to visit the natural wonders along the way.
Tadlo - A village in Lao Ngam district, Salavan province. Mainly comprised of guests houses catering to those doing the Bolaven Plateau loop. Laid back place with quite a number of 'traditional' backpackers who went for a night and never left. Several good waterfalls in the area and some trekking opportunities.
Si Phan Don - Also known as 4,000 islands, is less than 3 hours away. Relax here for a few days by the Mekong river.
