Pakse (French Paksé) (population 70,000) is a city in southern Laos, situated at the confluence of the Xedone and Mekong Rivers. It is the largest city in Champasak province and is the gateway to the Bolovens Plateau. It was formerly the capital of the Lao Kingdom of Champasak, which was abolished in 1946 when the Kingdom of Laos was formed. Since the construction of a bridge over the Mekong (built with Japanese aid), allowing road traffic with Ubon Ratchathani in Thailand, Pakxe has become the commercial centre of southern Laos. Bangkok Airways is planning to start international flights from Bangkok to Pakse Airport.
