  Laos hotels - Grand Luang Prabang
In 1946, Phetsarath became leader of the Lao resistance movement against the French return to Laos, a position which placed him in direct conflict with the King, who sought a return to the French Protectorate.
Consequently, Phetsarath left the country and spent eleven years in exile in Thailand, a period during which Lao politics was dominated by his younger brothers, the Princes Souvanna Phouma and Souphanouvong.
Phetsarath finally returned to Laos in 1956 to act as mediator in the conflict between Souvanna Phouma and Souphanouvong and died in his birthplace Luang Prabang in 1959.

 Chapter 9: Phetsarath is invited to return
Though Prince Phetsarath's heart was strong as iron or dia­monds, it had to soften in the face of popular and Sangha opinion.
Prince Phetsarath said that his return to Laos was not as im­portant as the lives of the Lao people, who had suffered the fate of ten years of country-wide disorder.
Prince Phetsarath asked the government to arrange aid for Lao exiles of every level, from commoners to civil servants, and to encour­age their return to Laos to help to work for the country's prosperity.

 Chapter 10: A critique of Phetsarath's neutrality
Opponents seized the opportunity to charge that Prince Phet­sarath was proceeding with a communist policy, and alleged that Soupha-nouvong, his younger brother, was a Red; that he was backed by Red China and the Viet-Minh and wanted to go down the Red path.
We can see why Prince Phetsarath could not return to Laos until the two sides had made an orderly agreement so that he could be strictly neutral.
When Prince Phetsarath's grandfather was Viceroy, he fought against the Haw army, the ancestors of Mao Tse-tung.

 Laos - HISTORY
Phetsarath also reorganized the administrative system of the Buddhist community of monks and novices, the clergy (sangha), and established a system of schools for educating monks in which the language of instruction was Pali, the sacred language of Theravada Buddhism.
However, on September 7, Phetsarath was informed by the minister of interior that a royal proclamation had continued the French protectorate over the Kingdom of Louangphrabang.
Phetsarath protested but accepted these decisions and, after thanking the Laotian civil servants for their support, immediately announced his withdrawal from public life.

Phetsarath was the son of the uncle and viceroy, ouparat (10), to King Sisavang Vong, and grew up with the king.
But Phetsarath is a popular figure not primarily because of his political role, although important legends have grown up around this, but because he is considered to have magical powers; he is saksit(12).
Phetsarath's own account of his role in contained in a, "autobiography" that he published anonymously as "3349" in Thailand in the mid-1950s, and it was later translated into English.(See Phetsarath 1978.)

 The Umbrella Man | TIME
Phetsarath was delighted to be home, smiled and nodded regally when his sarong-clad countrymen offered him hibiscus blossoms and accorded him the full-length, prostrate kowtow he had been accustomed to receive before.
But the old prince was miffed at certain smart-alecky, democratic customs now prevalent in Vientiane (including the fact that the kowtow is going out of fashion) and was also upset, he said, to see that his brothers, Souvanna Phouma and Souphanouvong, were not settling their difficulties.
Phetsarath journeyed north to the Red-held provinces of Samneua and Phongsaly, came back tut-tutting that he simply did not believe that the Communists were Communists.

 Lao Royalty: Kingdom Come? --- Asia Pacific Media Service
But reverence for Phetsarath is based on far more than his nationalist credentials.
While he lived, Phetsarath was often called on to use his magical powers to clean away evil spirits during village purification rituals.
For restaurant-owner Nittaya, Prince Phetsarath "brings us fortune." Asked why she makes offerings of incense to a portrait of the prince hanging on her restaurant's wall, she answers: "He keeps my family safe." No doubt the government watches such observances warily, but there has been no crackdown, yet.

The author further claims that symbolic initiatives of Krtanagara (1265—92 CE) that led to his identification as 'the god Shiva-Buddha' were not aimed at producing a syncretic religious system, but rather a politico-religious hegemony that had profound effects on the shape of statecraft during the Majapahit era.
A biography of Prince Phetsarath highlights how a specific idea about Laos and its culture was formed under French colonial rule and nurtured under the Japanese occupation and its aftermath.
During these periods, Phetsarath's understanding of Lao cultural nationalism was transformed into a political and anticolonial nationalism.

 International Conference on Lao Studies
Tiao Phetsarath was one of the most important figures in 20th century Lao nationalism.
His leadership of the small Lao independance movement, the Lao Issara, from 1945-1949 brought him both notoriety and political prominence, but it also brought him into conflict with the Luang Phrabang monarchy which he had long supported.
The disagreement between Phetsarath and the King would deprive Laos of one of its most important figures as it made the transition to independance and fell into the cauldon of the Cold War.

The departure of the Japanese from Laos in 1945 left the Laotian ruling elite divided over the issue of the restoration of French control.
The king welcomed the French return, but Prince Phetsarath, the viceroy, and his brothers, Souvanna Phouma and Souphanouvong, were prominent in the noncommunist Lao Issara, which demanded full independence.
The granting of limited independence within the French union in 1949 split the Lao Issara, one faction becoming the left-oriented Pathet Lao.

As a last resort, Fay Dang took the long journey to Luang Prabang to ask Prince Phetsarath, the Viceroy, to intervene so that political power in Nong Het could be kept within the Lo clan (Castle, 1979: 53).
Phetsarath assured Fay Dang of this support, and was presented a treasured rhinoceros horn.
However, the Viceroy was apparently too preoccupied with his Lao Issara (Free Lao) movement against French domination of Laos to have paid much attention to the grievances of a distant minor Hmong leader.
