Pakse is the transport hub of the region, with an airport, bus service and limited boat access off the Mekong. For Champasak and the South, there are more expensive minivans (110,000 kip return to Si Pan Don) from a couple of travel companies ('Pakse Travel' and 'Explore Asia') in Pakse town centre (nearly always packed with bleach blond 20 somethings, don't expect any leg room).
[edit] Get around
Most places in Champasak, including Wat Phou, can be visited as day trips from Pakse.
