Plain of Jars





At phonsavan, there is the famous plain of jars. u'll see hundreds & hundreds of jars scattered all on the plain. there are many versions to the comeabout of this mysterious jars of 3000 years old. the lao people believe that it was a gift from god. the hmong people believe that it was created by giant villagers who use the jars for different storage purpose (like a bank to store the villagers money, a food storage or even as a prison) the archaeologist believed that it was a urn or tomb.
personally, i prefer the local myth version. more fun for imagination isn't it?
