Breathtaking experience, worth two days stay. We had a great guide. Mr. Nouts / "Plain of Jars Travel Agency Sousath" who speeks fluent English, has a large historic knowledge and is more than happy to share it and answer all questions. After this visit we decided to stay a second day and did visit the old capital with the impressive, large burnt Buddha.

Really worth the trip - we flew from Vientiane for just $30 each way. We did a shared tour with Mr Souk, good value and he was excellent. Worth climbing to hill above quarry for the views but it’s 1000 steps (stairs). We stayed at Sipanya Guesthouse, also good.

The Plain of Jars is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Laos that is hard to get to, but well worth the effort. Up until recently no one knew why these huge stone jars were created and even now there is no universal agreement on their purpose. There is still no consensus of who made them. There is no doubt that they are one of the world's most mysterious sites. Located near the city of Phonsavan which has no airport, you need to drive here from Luang Prabang on one of the worst roads in Asia. However, once here, there are quite decent hotels and restaurants. There is no one site that is the Plain of Jars, but rather many. You should definitely visit at least three sites starting with Site One which is the most easily accessible and that is actually on a plain. Other sites are harder to get to, but quite different from Site One. These are often on hill tops and involve hikes through Laotian rice fields. While visiting this area of Laos you will also see many bomb craters from the American bombing campaign that made Laos the most bombed place in history. It's an eye opening experience to realize just how wrong this was and how the hundreds of thousands of unexploded ordnance still affect day to day life in this very poor country.

I've heard it described as Asia's Stonehenge. I wouldn't go that far, but it is definitely an interesting visit. Afterwards, head to "Bombies" restaurant for the best food in Laos, and the owner's father was actually the guy who opened the plain of jars as a tourist attraction

Visited the Plain of Jars sites 1, 2, & 3 recently. Mid rainy season nevertheless it was a fantastic experience. Our guide Tey Lassada was fantastic, very knowledgeable and friendly. Went out of his way to ensure that we had the best experience possible given the conditions of the paths.

Beautiful destination, combining ancient & contemporary history. Our guide Tey Lassada was very friendly and knowledgeable. Please bear in mind that the options & programme might be limited due to weather- and roadconditions. Our schedule was altered during the day because of this, but nontheless we had a wonderful day visiting plain of jars sites and the old capital and the museum. Tey drives very well, in a comfortable & clean ac minivan.
