Presidential Palace

Appreciate it from a distance

What we say:

The classically-designed residence at the junction of Lane Xang Ave and Settathirath Rd is the Lao Presidential Palace.

The sprawling mansion with colonnaded balconies was originally built to house the colonial French governors, but now serves as a venue for government functions. It is not open to the public so, unless you're a visiting head-of-state, you're not getting any closer than the road.

Rating (out of 10):

Please note reviews are now pre moderated. Not all reviews will be published and submissions may be edited for clarity, typos and style before they appear. Ranting tirades, spam and anything else that really belongs somewhere else won't make the cut. If you want to rant, go to Thorntree.
