#Get a discount without relying on luck Patuxai (Lao: ປະຕູໄຊ; formerly called "Anusawali") is a monument located at the northeastern end of Lan Xang Road in the heart of Vientiane, Laos. It was built between 1957 and 1968[1] to honor the heroes who fought for independence from France. Patuxai is decorated in Lan Xang art, featuring mythical creatures from Buddhism such as Kinnari and Naga, as well as gods from Brahmanism and Hinduism. The surrounding area has a Patuxai courtyard. It is a compound word derived from the words "Patou" (ປະຕູ), meaning "gate," and "Xai" (ໄຊ), which comes from the Sanskrit word "Chaya", meaning "victory." Thus, the meaning of the word is similar to the Thai word "Patruxai." The Romanization of the word "Patouxai" has several forms, including Patuxai, Patuxay, Patousai, and Patusai.[2] After Patuxai was completed, Laos was a constitutional monarchy. The site was known as "Anusawali" (ອານຸສາວະລີ), meaning "memory," as it served as a memorial honoring the heroes of the declaration of independence.[3] Later, in 1975, the communist revolutionary movement "Pathet Lao" seized power and the king abdicated, leading to the transition from a traditional government to a communist socialist one. The name was changed from Anusawali to "Patouxay" (ປະຕູໄຊ) to honor the victory of the revolutionary group, which is still used today.[4] Patouxay is also called the "Arc de Triomphe" of Vientiane because of its resemblance to the Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile in Paris, France.[2] It is nicknamed the "vertical runway" because of the cement used to build the airport.[5] The musical fountain show and Patouxay gardens.
