Patuxai (Victory Gate), Vientiane, Laos

This monumnet in the centre of Vientiane is called Patuxai which means victory gate. It was built in the 1960's as a monument to those who died fighting the French. It was built with money donated by the US for the purposes of building an airport hence it's other name The Vetical Runway.
