Champasak is one of those places where time seems to stand still, encouraging contemplation and serenity. This may be due to the weight of history perceptible on the site of Vat Phou, or to the indolent course of the Mekong.

The surrounding area exudes an atmosphere that makes you want to relax and forget the frenetic pace of the modern world for a while.

Champasak’s motto could be: slow down and recharge your batteries!
