On my way at last towards Hanoi. But first the northern mountains of Laos must be traversed. Touching down in Phonsavan, the Plain of Jars is a must to visit. In 1989, during my first trip to Laos, the plain was still a difficult and dangerous place to get to. The Pathet Lao, a nationalist communist party, was still very active at that time. The US military bombed this historic archaeological site too.
The jars are generally regarded as funerary containers dating from around 500BC to 500AD
