18 This is history writ large in stone. An area of outstanding natural beauty, Vieng Xai
( Click here ) was home to the Pathet Lao communist leadership during the US bombing
campaign of 1964-73. Laos became the most heavily bombed country in the world at this
time and the leadership burrowed into these natural caves for protection. A superb audio
tour brings the experience alive. When the bombers buzz overhead to a soundtrack of Jimi
Hendrix you'll be ducking for cover in the Red Prince's lush garden.
