> If you wish to visit the Plain of Jars, proceed with caution. The U.S. dropped more than 2.5 million tons of ordnance on Laos during the #VietnamWar (.. the American War). The area around the #PlainOfJars.. thousands of undetonated bombs.
.. unexploded bombs still kill people.. More than 1,000 people were killed or injured in Laos between 2008.. and 2022.. when visiting... you should only walk in permitted zones and on marked pathways [and think about reparations].
