If you are in Laos, you should asked the local people what Gods the mountain are referencing. <BR/><BR/>For example: The two mountians in Pakse, Champasak Laos. As the legend goes. The prince wants to married his love. But the parents of the prince dont let him. I think he kill himself, and when she found out the her love has died. She too kill herself. Thus you see the two mountains in Pakse are both lying next to each other where they fell.<BR/><BR/>If you want more accurate account, you should talk to the local people. I'm just interpret what why parents told me.<BR/><BR/>The word "Phou" is very popular in a Laotian first name. And its very popular in the name of the towns throughtout Laos and Thailand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578907113289426459.post-47306053743048662092009-02-25T23:49:00.000+08:002009-02-25T23:49:00.000+08:00"phou" in Lao mean, "mountain""si" in Lao mean, "c..."phou" in Lao mean, "mountain"<BR/><BR/>"si" in Lao mean, "color"<BR/><BR/>Thus, you have "colorful mountain"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578907113289426459.post-87195614643024412412009-02-24T12:35:00.000+08:002009-02-24T12:35:00.000+08:00Hi Dr No,The name Phousi sounds vulgar, but it's a...Hi Dr No,<BR/><BR/>The name Phousi sounds vulgar, but it's a legal, legitimate name in Laos, hahaha. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for dropping by!Julie Limhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05003983763984372586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578907113289426459.post-88572851748094980872009-02-22T22:24:00.000+08:002009-02-22T22:24:00.000+08:00hei...I wanna know the meaning of Phousi too...lea...hei...I wanna know the meaning of Phousi too...<BR/>learn new thing today...extend the knowledge....hahhahhahahdrNOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15460990564031664144noreply@blogger.com
