Initial closer ties to Vietnam and socialization were replaced with a gradual return to private enterprise, a liberalization of foreign investment laws, and the admission into ASEAN in 1997.
I was sufficiently boosted by this that even the drawbacks of the guesthouse in Phonsavan - a flexible wooden floor that nipped the skin of one's feet painfully and a hot shower that only lived up to its name if the flow was a trickle - seemed inconsequential.

 Phonsavan - Travel Guide
It's readily apparent that Phonsavan, located on the vast expanse of the Plain of Jars and hastily rebuilt in the aftermath of decades of fighting, fared little better than anywhere else on the Plain during the war.
Since 1975, Phonsavan has, however, emerged as the centre of life in Xiang Khouang province, a magnet for people displaced by years of bombing, scrap-metal merchants from Vientiane and tourists curious to see the nearby Plain of Jars.
The downside though, is that Phonsavan has begun to feel a bit of a tourist trap.

 Phonsavan
Phonsavan is home to the strange and beautiful Plain of Jars, ancient stone jars scattered around the area in three main sites.
Comments : The town itself is nothing to write home about - though it does have a certain dusty, frontier-type feel to it - but the jars are interesting, the surrounding area is beautiful and the trip there is adventurous.

One of the many legacies of the American war in Laos is the huge number of unexploded bombs, shells, grenades, and mines (UXO) that now litter the country.

By the end of the 60s this major battlefield was undergoing almost daily bombing by American planes as well as ground combat between the US-trained-and-supplied Hmong army and the North Vietnamese-Pathet Lao alliance.
Phonsavan itself is little more than a ragged, sprawling collection of wood-plank, tin-roofed rectangles interspersed with a few modern breeze-block buildings.

At any rate, after the 8 hour bus ride and chilling to various sounds (I was feeling a little mute, so I cranked up some Neutral Milk Hotel and followed it up with some Jean Grae - I really seem to be growing fond of her hip hop while on holiday...
Bomb craters are everywhere and UxO is a major problem, the MAG (Munitions/Mine Action Group) has done a lot of work (supported by nzaid no less..) to make safe paths to the various jars - and it's depressing to think of the damage done to this truely unique site during that conflict.
The following day I left Phonsavan, originally I had planned to go to Vang Vieng - but after to talking to some people I didn't really feel like it - for some odd reason I was in the mood for a city - so I skipped and got a bus straight to Vientiane.
