Description

The Prap Ho Monument is located in front of the old city hall. The monument contains the cremated bones of those who lost their lives in the suppression of the Ho. The Ho were the Chinese who had been defeated in the Taiping revolt in southern China in the mid-1860s and fled southward into the upper Mekong valley and the Black River valley. They became independent armed bands who plundered, destroyed, or occupied the tiny chiefdoms and even threatened the Lao kingdoms along the Mekong during the 1870s and 1880s. In 1884-1885 and 1885-1887 Siam sent two expeditions to fight them as being the main cause for the many disturbances in the region and with the intention to reassert Siam's suzerainty over the region by force.
