According to figures compiled by Statista, a total of 16.44 million tourists visited the country in 2018. Remarkably, in terms of the African nations with the most international tourist arrivals, only Morocco received more visitors.

The Plain of Jars is one of Laos’ great mysteries. These large stone structures, which are scattered over a vast area in Phonsavan, part of the Xieng Khouang plain in the Lao Highlands, are shrouded in myths and local legend. No one truly knows their origin, but there are many theories as to why they were built and what they were used for.

Dating back to the Iron Age (500 BC to AD 500), they appear in clusters of between a few and several hundred, vary in height between 1-3 metres (3-10 feet), and weigh over a tonne each. 

Sometimes referred to as Southeast Asia’s equivalent to Stonehenge, the plain of jars is one of the most important prehistoric sites, and are an archaeological discovery you shouldn’t miss.
