==History== The French established an administrative outpost in Pakse in 1905. The city was the capital of the Lao [[Kingdom of Champasak]] until 1946 when the [[Kingdom of Laos]] was formed. After the [[Franco-Thai war]] the French ceded [[Preah Vihear Province]], formerly belonging to the [[French protectorate of Cambodia]], and the part of Champasak Province located on the other side of the [[Mekong]] river from Pakse, which had been part of [[French Laos|Laos]], to [[Thailand]].<ref>Grabowsky, Volker.
