Presidential Palace Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Lao National Palace is located on the banks of the Mekong River in Vientiane. It is a giant French castle with classical decoration and was used as the governor's palace during the French colonial period in the early days. Also known as the "Golden Palace", it covers an area of 44,510 square meters. In 1560 AD, King Setathira established the capital of Vientiane, and designated the 4.5-square-kilometer circle including the current state president's palace as the royal palace. After 1827, Luang Prabang was the capital of successive kings, and the Vientiane Palace became a palace, and the scope continued to shrink. The current Golden Palace was rebuilt in 1973 on the ruins of the Royal Palace of King Chaoanupong. There are no guards at the door, you can look inside through the fence, but you can't go in.

The President's house of Laos, the White House is elegant and auspicious, the symbol is the highlight in the middle of Vientiane city.
It makes something of a statement and if you are heading out to Sisaket Temple anyway, this will be en route. On the opposite side of this Avenue is Laos' depiction of the Arc de Triomphe, a three min bike ride or a fifteen minute walk away. Behind this residence is a pleasant park to walk in
ImpressiveThere is such a nice contrast of architecture of Presidential palace and every other building in Vientiane, Laos. It looks very monumental , solid , grey with gold ornaments . Very interesting!!!
one of the most elegant buildings in Vientiane but can only take photos from outside
it is worth walking around the area around the palace. It is very calm and close to many museums.
[View] 👍🏻 [Fun] 👍🏻 [Cost-effective] 👍🏻
