Nam Theun 2 Visitors Centre

Nakai–Nam Theun National Park & Around


The Nam Theun 2 Visitors Centre is set in a traditional Luang Prabang–style house, which looks a touch out of place in the middle of nowhere. It has a very well-organised display on village relocations, the construction of the dam and the science behind hydropower, but it's obviously coming from a pro-hydropower point of view and not an environmentalist angle.
