King Anouvong Statue Review

The statue of the former king of Laos, King Anu, is located on the banks of the Mekong River, opposite the Lao Presidential Palace, guarding the land and people at foot! At night, all the roads here are sealed for pedestrians, walking, fitness and entertainment. Very good initiative!

The specific airport is very close. If you have time, you can come and see a small park. The statue is in the center. It is hopeful to be different from the statue of the King in the Mekong Park. You can walk to the gymnasium and the Lao National Culture Hall on the north side of the road.

Chao ANOUVONG Park in Vientiane Capital

The statue of Anu King, located in the eastern part of Vientiane City, is a hero admired by the Lao people.

King Anu pointed to Thailand in the distance, as if telling his unfinished hatred of the ancient Siam Kingdom. Vientiane is the only country in the world that has built its capital on the border. The sculpture points to a river in front of it and across the river is Thailand. The statue is pointed at Thailand with a sharp knife, as if it had to cut off Thailand to vent its hatred. It is also a warning to Thais not to invade Laos for ever. That's why the statue was placed on the border.

On the banks of the Mekong River, the statue of King Anu faces the Mekong River and points to the lost land on the other side of the Mekong River, as if telling a bitter story of failure. Although a tragic king, he was killed after the defeat, but he is a hero in the heart of the Lao people, the last king who fought for the country.

In Vientiane, I go to the Mekong Park almost every day to report. The city itself is small. It's five minutes'walk from the sabadee hotel where I live. Especially at dusk, the sky is very beautiful. Every day, many people buy flowers to worship King Anu. They are very pious.
