During their struggle for independence , the Eastern part of Laos took a heavy beating. The communists formed their strength here and the Americans bombarded them incessantly. The poor villagers also paid the price. Thankfully the little mountains in this region are of limestone and could easily be excavated into large caves which housed the communists, villagers, hospitals and schools;
One of the peaks of a hill has completely collapsed due to bombing on it !!!!!!
I do not know how the French did not utilise these limestone mountains for their wine making. the weather is ideal for grape growing, limstone cliffs for keeping the wines ,, why why why did they not make wine here? Mais oui, the French never made wine in any of their colonies, have you noticed? They taught the people here Baguettes and petanque but no wine please!
