Laos

Savannakhet province connects to 534 places across 9 topics through 15 Bunkabop connections, with military history forming the largest share. The province sits at a crossroads between Thailand and Vietnam: the Second Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge, opened in 2007, spans the Mekong to Mukdahan. Parts of the province still carry unexploded ordnance from wartime use of the Ho Chi Minh trail. The Bru people, concentrated in Sepone District, and the birthplace of Prime Minister Kaysone Phomvihane also place the province in Laos's broader history.
