Dedicated to men and women killed during Laos' fight for independence, Patuxai represents a war monument decorated with various mythological creatures, gods, and animals. The structure's interior was constructed in a typical Laotian style, although the entire edifice resembles that of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. As you approach the monument, notice the ornate towers, which represent five principles of coexistence. Inside, you can explore seven floors housing administrative offices, a museum, a gift shop, and exhibits of pictures and statues of fallen heroes. For a small fee, take the elevator or stairs to the top-floor viewing area. Plan to visit Patuxai during your Vientiane vacation using our convenient Vientiane tour website.

Netty. Was. Here. Great Fountain music and light show as the sun sets!

Hey! It's an arch! Worth a visit. There's a neat fountain next to it. Go past the fountain for a very cool art installation involving elephants and plates, and an international peace gong.

Good place to spend some hours. There's two little cafes, two fountains, some monuments, many benches and big installation: four elephants made with dishes. If you don't have a camera you can find some photographers here and they will make a photo for you and print it instantly in any size from small card to big A4 format. Excellent view on the Patuxay monument through the central alley of the park.

Beautiful monument located in the city center. Looks like the victory wall in France. The Arc de Triomphe!
