The UXO Lao Visitor Center provides education about the Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) problem in Laos, particularly in the Xieng Khouang province. Here's how to get to the UXO Visitor Center in Phonsavan:
Wattay International Airport (Vientiane) is the main gateway into Laos. From here, you can take a domestic flight to Xieng Khouang Airport (Phonsavan). Lao Airlines offers regular flights to this regional airport.
Phonsavan can also be reached by bus or minivan from Vientiane, Luang Prabang, and other major cities. The journey may take several hours and roads can be challenging, especially during the rainy season.
Renting a car with a driver or a motorcycle (for experienced riders) can be a flexible option to reach the UXO Visitor Center. Ensure you have the necessary permits and understand the road conditions.
The UXO Visitor Center is located on the main street of Phonsavan, Phoukham Road. It's open from Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and the entrance is free.
