PAVIE AND LUANG PRABANG
In 1887, the city of Luang Prabang was under siege by Chinese and T’ai bandits. Auguste Pavie, the French vice-consul, heroically rescued the ailing local ruler, Oun Kham, by ferrying him to safety in Bangkok. This act of bravery not only saved the king but also solidified Pavie’s influence and trust in the region, paving the way for French colonial expansion in Laos.
