Summary In Laos, a long, brand new railway line has recently been launched in a country that hasn't really seen a train for decades. Philippe Gougler travels by train from north to south, passing through Luang Prabang, famous for its dozens of Buddhist temples. He will be lucky enough to be invited to one of them to spend a day with the monks. Further east, near the Vietnamese border, another, darker facet of the country's history opens up to him. Laos is the country that has been bombed the most in the world. During the Vietnam War, between 1964 and 1973, the United States dropped more than 2 million tonnes of bombs.
