Breakfast at the hotel. Drive to the Plain of Jars Site I, II, III, an impressive archaeological site where hundreds of large stone jars are scattered all over the plateau. It is a large area extending around Phonesavanh where several hundred huge jars of unknown origin are scattered about in over a dozen groupings. When the Plain of Jars is listed by UNESCO and cleared from remaining UXOs, further archeological investigation may bring a clue to all the unanswered questions regarding the most enigmatic site in Laos. The jars weigh mostly from 600 kg to one ton but the biggest one weighs as much as six tons. The jars have been fashioned from solid stone, most from a tertiary conglomerate known as molasses, akin to sandstone, and a few from granite. Picnic lunch en-route.
Afternoon, continue to visit the villages of Hmong, Phuan, Thai Neua and Thai Dam Minorities and Xieng Khouang ancient capital, now renamed as Muang Khoune. Dinner on guest own account.
Stay overnight in Xieng Khouang.
