The Plain of Jars is approximately 10 kilometers southeast of Phonsavan, at about 1,000 metres above sea level. Scattered over the plain are hundreds of enormous clay jars, each varying from 1 to 2.5 metres high, with a diameter of about 1 meter. There remains no explanation as to how the clay jars found their way onto the plain, nor what purpose they served. Throughout the years archaeologists have pondered many wild theories, including a claim declaring them to be brewery cauldrons. More likely the jars are enormous urns, however after your visit you might have a different idea.
