Khouang - Out and About
Plain of Jars
The
Plain of jars is the biggest attraction of the province.
Situated near Phonsavan are several grassy areas on which stand
stone jars, about 1 to 2.5m high. The jars are about 2,000
years old but nobody knows the true story about them or how
they came to be there. Local legend says that they were
made to ferment rice wine after a victory against a wicked chieftan
in the 6th century.

Kham district, 52km north of Phonsavan there are two hot springs;
Bo Noi (Little Spring) and Bo Yai (Big Spring).
At Bo Yai there is a bungalow resort for bathing in the springs
where the water can reach 60 degrees celcius.
