History & Heritage

A Glorious Past

Before becoming a natural wonderland adored by global travelers, 'Khammouane'—the land of 'Golden Happiness'—was once the center of a great kingdom.

Beneath the beauty of its limestone mountains lies a long history dating back to the 6th century as the center of the Sikhottabong Kingdom. Past glory is conveyed through the sacred stupa, before time brought traces of the French colonial era to color Thakhek, turning it into a charming port town with over 70 classic architectural sites along the Mekong River.
