This monument stands on Lane Xang Avenue. Pátu means "gate" and xái is a derivative of Sanskrit which translates as "victory". It was built in the 1960s to honour the memory of the victims of the pre-revolutionary wars. It is possible to climb to the top from where there is a superb panoramic view of the city. The fountain built at the foot of the Patuxai is the meeting place of the youth of Vientiane. Lane Xang Avenue, in the middle of which it stands, is said to have been built by the Americans as an airstrip.

Joli arc de triomphe en haut duquel on peut monter pour admirer la vue sur Vientiane. Belles images des dieux hindous dans la voûte.

Une jolie avenue conduit directement sur cet arc de Triomphe laotien ! Cela fait partie des visites ou arrêt photo à faire quand on est à Vientiane.

On le compare à notre Arc de Triomphe , en plein cœur de la ville ce monument est dans le prolongement d'une grande avenue qui ressemble aux champs Elysée. On se croirait en France, c'est assez sympa. Possibilité de monter en haut pour avoir un joli point de vue sur la ville.

Si l'on passe pas très loin , on peut monter les quelques marches du bâtiment pour profiter de la vue sur Vientiane.Une curiosité à voir.
