Why the Plain of Scars? During the Vietnam War the Americans bombed this area intensively. It has now been cleared of UXO but the craters, what I call scars are still evident on the surrounding hill sides. There are more than 80 jar sites in the area but only 7 have been cleared of UXO.

The Plain of Scars!!!
The Plain of Jars is an amazing archaeological site. These magnificent giant jars where made by who know and for what purpose. I spent hours roaming around Site 2 and Site 3. Only when the buckets of rain arrived in the late afternoon did I leave.
