I glad you stop by.. Yes, that’s the place i was refering to. I passed thru Pakse City when I was a little kid so i don’t really remember much about the place. I have a cousin who went back to Lao and is working for NGO in Vientiane at the moment, so let me know if you need to get in touch with someone when you go back there again.
