The former King of Vientiane had his palace on the spot where the President's Palace stands.

http://www.culturalprofiles.net/laos/units/899.html

The site on which it stands was the heart of the Lao royal palace complex until the Siamese invasion of 1828, but following the devastation of that year the area remained abandoned until 1900, when the French colonial government symbolically constructed their Résidence supérieure

However, the central area now occupied by the Presidential Palace remained an overgrown wasteland until 1973 when, under the final coalition of the Royal Lao Government period, work began to build a reception hall and guest house for visiting foreign heads of state. Designed by local architect Khamphoung Phonekeo, the building was not completed until 1986

Although it is known in English as the Presidential Palace, the President simply hosts receptions and ceremonies here, his official residence being located in the suburb of Ban Phonthan, in Muang Saysettha. The building is not open to the public.

There we go. That is probably why its called "Haw Kham".

That building was being built before 1975 for the purpose of being used these days but not completed. I think it's beautiful building and is one of the targets of destruction of Vang Pao and his gangs if they succeeded overthrowing Lao Gov. in 2007.

Great information, I wonder what the old palace looks like before the destruction...But why don't the architect design a building that resembles the old royal palace, or at least in Lao original design? I used to think that the achitect was a foreigner.

Never say that, you never know. That's what they have been trying to do. If they can't do this time, might be the next time. If they can't do this generation, there might be the next generation,......

You are misunderstanding this. That building is the original one. It was started by the old gov. before 1975 but not completed because Laos was liberated first, same as big hotel in Paakzee, Jampasak Province. I think the architect design was American style. This building along with Thaat Luang, Victory Gate, and other buildings were the target to be destroyed or bombed if Vang Pao and his 10 gangs overthrew Lao Gov. in 2007. You got it?

Watches are a beautiful thing. Certainly, they tell us the time - but aren't they so much more than that? replicas watches Through their watches, a person can express so much, and in a way it could be said:replicas watches Show me your watch and I'll tell you who you are.
