Vientiane

My visit to vientiane was very short, only 6 hours. Even though it is the biggest city in Laos, it is small. I got to all the major sites before returning to Bangkok by train. The monument on the left is the simbol of Laos and some times appears on their flag. The one on the right resembles the Arch of the Triumph in Paris. I read it was built bought by the US to build a new runway at the airport. I don't think planes can land here.





There is a temple in Vientiane that has more than 6800 Buddhas - I didn't count :)
